Brompton Cycle Challange
Taking part in this years Brompton Championship, Aspen Electronics MD Howard Venning came a respectable 91st out of a field of 532. No ordinary bike race this; a complete absence of lcyra as competitors had to cycle in shirt, tie and jacket around Blenheim Palace! Howard competed in a snazzy blue and white blazer more befitting of a stock market trader – still the route was ‘up and down’ and his training did pay ‘dividends’.
