Join the start of The Great Tour!

As Seaton is hosting the start of inaugural Great Tour, Axe Valley Pedallers has just been invited to line up with the riders on the start line on Saturday 3rd July on this historic cycling moment. You will need to be at the Town Hall in Seaton for 09:45 to be led down to the Seafront at 10:00 by a brass band from Lympstone

Then, at 10:30 am, our very own Axe Valley Pedaller, Mayor Bob ‘Ketchup’ Palacio will officially send us on our way, heading east along the estuary. Even if you just join us as far as Chapel Street, Axmouth that would be great. For those that want to join us all the way to our first stop in West Bay, there might just be a Great Tour T-Shirt for you as well as some nourishment! Do pass the word on about the invitation.

And just think, as soon as you have finished cycling with The Great Tour you can pedal back for more fun at the Festival of Cycling!

I do need to know some rough numbers and so if you think you’re going to join us, can you pop your name down here please or just let me know.

Re: Join the start of The Great Tour!

Momentum building! I'm looking after Jess saturday morning but was wondering if we could both cycle up to Axmouth if I come to register? I will be happy marshalling in arvo as Jess and Steph off to help with Umborne steam - up! It's all go-go-go this weekend.....but then go-go-go 64 times over for you Madal....goodluck!

Re: Join the start of The Great Tour!

That will be fab to have you and Jess with us as far as Axmouth. We are really keen to have all ages and I'm naturally keen to see as many Axe Valley Pedallers as we can muster. Thanks Goose big_smile

Come Pedallers, turn up, line up and cycle up......as far as Axmouth or across to West Bay (for a t shirt)

Ready for the start of the inaugral Great Tour we have:[/color]

I had a reply from Lisa, one of the officials, who mentioned no u-18's so I think I will be marshalling instead. Sorry to mess u around....either way I will be there to help in one way or another.
Good luck again....and well done all involved lol
