First of all, good luck to all our riders, and in fact all riders, riding this year’s epic Tour De Manc Sportive. Our good friend, Tony Rubins, is an organiser and we wish him and his team yet another successful event.
This does mean that, given lack of available riders, that we will move the big ride back a week to Sunday 12 May (will see the projected take up and cancel if needs be).
The next standard ride will follow the week after, still on it’s intended date of Saturday 18th May.
