This event came to my notice about two weeks before the actual event – that short notice! I found out that it was organised by the Wolverhampton Racing and Cycling Club http://www.wolverhamptonrcc.com/
Went down there and questioned them about the sportive and found out it was 62 mile loop with the Start/Finish at Pattingham. The good thing is that I know Pattingham, it the village I have been riding through to Cosford for awhile now. Add to that I have one 64 mile ride under the belt in 4:30 hours.

A very wet and muddy Whitney at the end of 58,5 miles at the finish.
Members of the Triban Owners Forum at Check Point 1. A very courageous lady on her first 62 mile ride. She did brilliantly!
