15th May 2014 - either Staveley (MTB) or Barrow-in-Furness (Road crit)

So the storey went something like this...
A) If you went to Staveley (Grant, George and Neil?) let us know how you got on...and Joel turned out for a nice evening ride.


B) Or a few of us went to Barrow for the Tours Series event; Jamie, James (with camera of course, see pics here), CT and Charlie who rode out on what turned out to be a balmy summers evening.

Basically they close off a few city centre streets and a bunch of bikers race round and around, so you get a good chance to see racers every minute. You can easily walk the course and select your spot or walk on and spot James doing his thing, or speak to race mechanics, managers etc, plus a mad person on the PA and a mascot on stage!

The weather was perfect, chips were available as Charlie wanted some food and no flapjacks available, then Costa coffee to end! Here are a few snaps of mine.
