Sportive Alto Palencia (Segorbe ) June 14th 2009

This event has long been a favourite of mine, Its not super hard, nor does it have any really monster climbs. Its just a great event that has been running for years.
Since coming to Spain this was my 7th ride at Segorbe, Monica´s 5th.


Monica is getting better and better on the bike. Having recently found `aggression´ Its a neccessary requirement for good bike riding. She suprised a few guys by riding hard and dropping them on the hills and on the flat into the wind..
There is a lot more to come from Monica

The Segorbe sportive was our clubs first on mass sportive start ..
we fielded 12 riders.. both local & guests.. and we had a great day..
Winning 4 out of the 6 trophies up for grabs.

Alex Winniker our guest from the USA won the rider having travelled the farthest.
Monica for the oldest female !!!! she isnt that old.. Two years ago she took the trophy for the youngest.
Our club won trophies for the club with the most participants and the club from furthest away.
A Great day Many thanks to all the club members that took part and our guests for getting involved.
