A full weekend of cycling! 19/20 May 2011 in Derbyshire. This is the same group who organised the Pennies in the Park... so this has great potential to be a fantastic event. The venue is the most amazing place... just check out Thoresby Hall Hotel website! http://www.warnerleisurehotels.co.uk/ho ... /overview/

There are races for bikes, penny farthings and unicycles. There will even be some events that will combine them. There will definately be a big wheel unicycle race.
