On Friday 22 May, Nev, Hedd, Stu and Ash headed to the Malverns for the first evening ride of the season. Hedd was very keen to put the new bike through it's paces!
That "new addidas" look! Hedd's new bike - Lapierre Zesty 514
Everyone was pretty punctual (for once!) so we were soon away and climbing North Hill.

We diverted away from our usual route to give a new descent from North Hill a try, which was pretty good fun although Ash took a tumble! In no time we were climbing to the highest point of the ride - Worcestershire Beacon.

The first evening ride of the season means a mandatory photo at the summit! Stu, Ash and Nev
The descent from Worcestershire Beacon was a blast as always, although Stu suffered a puncture. The ride from here was relatively uneventful as we didn't take on "gumpy's drop"! Hedd's new bike performed admirably and the whole evening was rounded off with some chips with curry sauce in Malvern Link! We all agreed that there was no better way to wash away the stresses of the working week and that we needed to repeat soon!
