Wow we have met ALOT of cyclists this season & as the guest season is drawing to a close, just wanted to say thankyou to spending some of your time with us in our special spot in a beautiful part of a stunning country!!!

Many comments were made that 'my wife would love to stay here' or 'next time I will bring my wife' - so Im just going to say - cats out of the bag & we look forward to seeing many of you again, with your partners this time (maybe not on a bike).

See more of you cyclists in the 26/27 season 🚴‍♂️👍
