 If you took part in
the 2006/2007 Bicyclemania Challenge you'll know
exactly what's in store for you. But if you unfortunately missed it, make
sure you get your entry form in and get
ready to take on the 'Rolling Lincs Wolds'.
You will be riding through beautiful
Lincs Wold scenery & over tough
terrain. Last years 63km mountain
biking enduro took on some of North
East Lincolnshire's superb terrain
and scenery.
The weather did try to
dampen down the Challengers spirits,
but it could not wipe the smiles
from their wet & muddy faces . .
"Well done to one & all"
2 0 0 8
The snap-shots of the day's action
will be available soon, the guy out on the route was
the one and only 'Treehugger' he is doing his best
to get them sorted. (Be patient . . .
. . 'I wonder if he took the lens cap off!!')
A BIG thank you to everyone who took part in
the Bicyclemania Challenge 3.
With a special thanks to the marshal's at the start
/ finish and feed stations for their much
appreciated help.
Also Urban Adventure / Rat Race Adventure / Mill
House Farm / Farmer Gilles / Dave the food van / And
the odd sheep /
We hope that everyone enjoyed the event even if you
fell off.
Any comments, improvement suggestions will be
gratefully received at
