HDW are a great club to ride with. Very friendly and relaxed but with a good sense of bunch discipline. They also wait for people, and ensure everyone gets home or knows how to. There is a huge depth of experience, and some of the riders are exceptionally strong but they are prepared to offer a wheel and do lead-out when everyone else is flagging.
It is a humbling experience to be overtaken on climbs by people 20-30 years older than me who are chattering away.
I am really looking forwards to this weekends 100 mile jaunt (though 125 for me once I have travelled there and back).
If anyone wants to convene at mine Sunday morning before the ride out to Staines please drop me an email via the forum - ideally don't PM me as its a bit of a faff.
