Long day in the saddle!

Today was the first Uk gravel race, the Dorset Gravel Dash 100.

100 miles of mixed terrain with a bit of road thrown in. It had rained hard the night before so the going in places was...... Swampy!

Pictured here with new friends Dick and Allan, we were riding vastly different bikes: I was on a gravel racer/CX bike, Dick a hard tail mountain bike and Allan a 'big bike' with 4" tyres.
