DARTMOOR PROTEST - BOVEY TRACEY - 2.00PM SUNDAY 23RD AUGUST.

Hi All,

Many of you may have picked up the fact that a major media event is being held
on Dartmoor to protest against the new bylaws which are making normal cyclists
into criminals. Around 100 cyclists are expected to attend - and the format of
the day is attached.

We have had an excellent response for the television companies who are highly
amused that the bylaws have forgotten the existance of unicycles!

We are therefore desperate for a willing unicycle rider (or 2) to appear over
the skyline and descend the hill to the waiting cameras at the protest site.

If any unicyclists would be prepared to help, the CTC will be pleased assist
travel by paying rail or petrol expences.

Contact Colin Palmer on the above e mail address, or phone 01531 633500.

Thanks in anticipation

Colin Palmer CTC Offroad.
