POYNTON LEISURE CENTRE
March 12th
Early Season Cyclosportive around the Cheshire Lanes. Three distances 30 miles, 50 miles and 80 miles. New bigger venue Poynton Leisure Centre.
Great event to kick off your 2011 Cyclosportive season, just two weeks before the Cheshire Cat or if your riding the Tour of Flanders Cyclosportive makes this an ideal warm up event
Last years event was covered by CYCLING WEEKLY and CYCLING ACTIVE reporters both magazines giving the event a great write up. We also had CYCLOSPORT'S Howard Johnson who's chose it as his first event of the season. You can read all about the ride in his blog.
