Conditions ensured that the first Southern 100 Enduro of the season would indeed be a true test of endurance at the weekend. The big South Downs hills are a tough enough on a good day, but add in some unseasonably cold winds and a light, persistent rain, and you have a hard day in front of you. That didn't put off the more determined and hardened amongst you and, fortunately, with a total of four different distances on offer, there was still plenty of good riding for anyone who fancied a shorter trip out in the bracing conditions.

Hopefully summer service will be resumed for the next 100; the Ridgeway 100 from Swindon. This excellent Enduro is the day one highlight of the Great Swindon Bike Ride, starting from the Nationwide Building Society's headquarters on the very edge of town. And there will be all the usual Trail Ride options, plus fun and family rides too! It's going to be a great day, so put it in your diary now!
