As part of our 20th anniversary celebrations, we are challenging 20 riders to cycle 285 miles over 6 days in hot and sticky weather.
Through your journey you will discover Rajasthan, India's "Land of Kings". This is India at its exotic and colourful best. The harsh landscape and tribal customs have fashioned a people and culture which are visibly different from the rest of the country.
Please come and join us for a get-together at the Three Houses Pub, Barnsley Road, on Tuesday 9th February at 6.30pm where we will be discussing the event in more detail (please inform Helen Knowles 01924 213900 if you intend to attend!)
