Penny Race in Leicester..........

...........was given the go ahead yesterday. We can either use the oval as before or take over part of the closed road circuit being planned. Either will be part of a larger cycling event

Not much more info I'm afraid but what we're thinking is setting up part of the Sky Ride route on the Friday and having evening events on the Friday/Saturday nights (without any Sky branding/involvelment I must add!) and then having the Sky ride on the Sunday.

This means that the only additional cost will be the extra hire of the barriers as the road closures expenses will already be covered.

So, likely date will be August Bank Holiday next year. I just need to find a course, now. More details before Christmas.

Sounds interesting, how many riders do you reckon you'll get?
