“WHITE BOXERS”
NEWSLETTER No 27 – May 2024
Hi – we hope this month’s offering finds you and yours fit, well and looking forward to lots of cycling challenges and adventures 😊
News from the front –
We kicked our season off on 14 April with The Ram 80-mile Yorkshire Dales Sportive where some 100+ riders joined us in Lancaster on a very blustery day in The Dales.
The Top Dog Team welcomed each and every rider, looking after them throughout their ride with hot drinks at halfway, fixing mechanical issues and returning broken riders with their bikes back to event HQ when needed.
Our new system of having event registration on the event car park, having hot drinks at both the halfway feed station and the finish, plus recycling riders event numbers all worked well and make the day run smoothly for all involved.
LOOKING FORWARD –
Once one event is completed, work begins to organise the next one, so THE RAPTOR 63 MILE FOREST of BOWLAND SPORTIVE is starting to come together and we hope you and your friends will come and join us for a day out in this little visited cycling heaven, just a short ride from our base in Lancaster.
Coaches Corner –
