There are a group of women on this expedition who are just having fun. They like to ride hard, and in fact are probably the strongest women cyclists, but they don’t take it too seriously. Last week we had a team trial, with 5 per team. Here is a picture of what we saw along the 30 km race route. Gotta love it, although I think the serious racers were a bit bemused
