Cycle Race plans well advanced
A two hour meeting yesterday confirmed just how far advanced are the plans for next year’s cycle race. Promoted by Stone Town Council, the race - officially a ‘Criterion’ sanctioned by the British Cycling Federation - will take place around a closed road circuit around the town next June.
With a start and finish in the High Street, the race will take place during the evening and will last for about an hour and a half. It is hoped that thousands of people will line the route and that all local pubs and restaurants will put on a special effort to create a continental feel to the town.
We shall be seeing the leading cyclists in Europe and, although I know nothing about cycling, I am getting very excited about this event.
So put the date in your diary now! June 18th 2008
have your say
