HWCC Premier Etape Recon - June 07
 

Friday the 1st of June 2007 saw 5 riders from HWCC commence the 1st "Fully Supported" Etape Recon in the Peak Times Pyrenees cycling programme. The following pictures hopefully capture both the challenge of the 2007 Etape, the fantastic riding available in and around Bagneres de Luchon and the beauty of the Pyrenees.
