Tour of Wessex 2007  Race Report by Janet Gilbert

He may not be able to dress himself, but he can do a bit of cycling!  Of the 531 entries to all 3 days of the Tour of Wessex, Gerald was one of only 103 that completed it.   Considering the somewhat inclement conditions and the challenging (other adjectives may be more appropriate) hills, I think he deserves a new tri suit (Paul - money to follow).

Gerald dressed for action

These are the results I have picked out – sorry if I have missed anyone.  Well done to Josh for the Gold award and to Andrew for an excellent time on the first day and Ash on the third day (fastest one day result for day 3).  Jon Wren completed the first day despite having made a mess of his Tri kit (and various layers of skin).
