Rutland Arrivederci

Saying Goodbye to 2017 Sportive Season

Sportive medal

 

 The final event on 2017 saw team Apache Brave Racing visit Rutland and the rolling hills of the Arrivederci sportive. The weather was over cast and rain threatened throughout the day. The team set of together and soon passed many cyclists who had set off before them.


A really good group work at the start helped the pace before each rider found their own comfort zone and the group split up to take on the challenge.

 

Apache Brave Racing

The feed station were one of the best stocked with many lovely treats and a welcome hot drink on a cold day. Most of the team met up at the last feed station with quick hellos and a few laughs on how challenging the course had been thus far.

A final push to the finish saw a few hard challenging hills and a real mental push to the finish line where some more hot food was waiting and even a great beer wo wash it all down. A great event and a good finish to the season.

We hit the first little climb and the pack managed to stay together somehow, but it took its toll on some legs. By the time we reached the second punch, the pack had fragmented.

By David Millward November 20, 2024
Three chase groups were trailing behind, with Emma and Barry in the last group, around 60th position. A call went out to rally the team. Keith remained with the main group, while Jared, Arne, and I dropped back as a unit to turn the situation around.
