You may have seen on the website previous details of this group’s charity ride from Middlesbrough FC’s Riverside Stadium to Yeovil Town’s ground in time for the final kick off of the season on the following Saturday. It would be great if as many Wheelers as possible turn up on the 29th April to ride with them on their first stage out of town towards Northallerton.

You will need to be at the Riverside around 8:30 on the Tuesday morning for the ride out at 9 am. It is expected that local press will be in attendance. The club has been involved in helping with the planning of this first stage and it would be great to show our continued support for their challenge.
