Information from Peebles Cycling Club

Peebles Cycling Club have contacted us to advise that a calendar  showing their events is available online - they recently had an incident in which a horse was spooked by a road race near Stobo, and they are keen that we horsey folk should have the information to allow us to avoid their regular weekly races in future! Please pass on the address to any friends who ride in the area, but who don't read the PDRC website.

Helpers Award

We are very pleased to announce that Helen MacNeil has kindly provided a very generous prize for our annual Helpers Award, which will be presented at the AGM. It’s a £100 voucher for Stobo Castle Health Spa to let you take yourself away and be pampered for the day after a hard year competing, or just generally a hard year! 

This is a great prize and we hope it will encourage more of you to come forward and offer your assistance at our events, as we can’t run them without you.  So if you can assist at any of the forthcoming events for the whole day or half a day (the longer a length of time you help, the more points you get!) please contact Liz Fletcher by email or call 01721 723342 - please leave a message if there is no answer.
