The inaugural '5 Valleys Gran Fondo' cycling sportive was a huge success. Close to 70 cyclists completed the 40 or 80 mile route on a beautiful sunny morning, tackling the hills and taking in the views. Awesome support and exquisite flapjacks helped the riders round the rolling course and back to school for the Brimscombe Bash, where they were met with fine food, drink and music. Huge thanks to all at team Fondo, and to all the FOBS team who worked so hard to put it together.
