Well done to all the team and a great lunch in Cambridge! Dave
This was a training ride for our Cologne Challenge booked for September. The ride was very well organised with a thorough briefing before take-off. Group leaders set the pace and made sure we never got too far behind and stayed safe, the route was very pretty and took us to some nice parts of Letchworth and the surrounding areas. The team are very competent and friendly and made plenty of time to ensure all had fun. We stopped at a lovely pub in Cambridge that catered for our needs really well. Plenty of parking at the rear, so it's safe for bikes, and the food was super tasty. Can’t wait to catch up again this year. Tony
This was my second Cambridge Challenge and every bit as enjoyable as my first. The guides are helpful and will cycle with you as fast or slow as you want. The reception and food at the pub in Cambridge was excellent, there was too much if anything. The route is well thought out with stops along the way to regroup to wait for anyone that is momentarily not quite at the pace of the rest of that part of the group, taking in the scenery or to refuel with snacks and water. Would recommend to individuals or groups. Rob
We would like to give credit to the staff for the support we received during the Letchworth/Cambridge charity ride.
We are two ‘seniors’ who were apprehensive about our ability but were soon put at ease and were accompanied and encouraged throughout by friendly and helpful Staff. Thank you. Liz
