I Love this DVD
I entered the Fred Whitton Challenge ballot this year (2016) for the first time, as I wanted to do something special for my 50th, so daughter got me this for Christmas and I must say I am really enjoying it. Set on a summers day in 2015 I accept it is a sunnier version of the real thing, but riding this scenic route is fantastic and takes you back to those summer events we all love so much, whilst outside the rain and wind lash my conservetry roof. I didn't get entry, but I can't keep off the turbo with this DVD. A real must buy!Thanks to Nick and the team for their excellent service.
