Information from Peebles Cycling Club
Peebles Cycling Club have contacted us to advise that a calendar
showing
their
events is available online - they had an
incident in 2009 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.
