With summer here and the chance to ride outside, we thought we’d introduce another club initiative to keep you all amused during June. As not everyone has the equipment to be able to participate in our virtual program, outdoor types, this is your chance to participate in our Lockdown Leaderboard . Yes, the easing of lock-down and the nice weather mean it is possible to ride outdoors solo regularly; so step forward Tarmac Terrestrials and show the Virtual Velominati what you can do!

Yes, this is something that offers everybody a chance of competing for: THE JUNE 2020 WESTERLEY CC  LOCKDOWN CHALLENGE

There are a number of ways of scoring points, and we suspect that nobody will be able to complete every single one, so opportunity knocks, could you win the challenge? Try it and see.
