Well that was a great day out! Ryde 10 did not disappoint!!!

After a clear, crisp, early start a large Liss contingent (runners and families) made the trip across the water to the Isle of Wight.  Some opting for car shares from Portsmouth to Fishbourne, others taking the cat or hovercraft directly into Ryde.  For first timers this can seem pretty daunting, but it's really a simple/stress free process.

The course is single lap, extremely undulating (er hilly surely, Ed) and scenic, covering Ryde, Puckpool, Seaview, St. Helens, Netttlestone, Seaview (again) and back to Ryde.  A slightly different course to previous years, with the last large hill being omitted.  The finish location then brought us to where we set off.

Great runs from all of the team.  Notably Phil Avery finishing 1st in his age category.  Catherine Seager and Anna Wemyss finishing 2nd in their age categories too.  Liss ladies also took 2nd team place on the day.  There was also a large number of 10 mile PBs, on what is definitely not a PB course.

Once finished we made our way up the hill in Ryde for food and drinks.  It seems we all had one more hill in us after all.

A beautiful sunset on the return journey finished off what was a pretty special race day.
