Unfortunately this event, which was to be part of the Tour de Yorkshire celebrations, has had to be cancelled. Apologies to those who were hoping to ride it.
Stockton Wheelers have been forced to temporarily change their club TT circuit at Long Newton because of roadworks. It’s still a full 10 miles and involves going over part of the course twice. They will be using this on the 28th April. Signing on starts at 6.15 pm with first rider off at 7 pm. Usual place and same start location.
