We are also proud to announce that this year we are being supported by Mervyn Stewart Skoda (North Down Branch) along side our long standing partnership with Regency Cars Read more

Great night for our TT tonight with 20 riders turning up from six different clubs. Thanks again to the riders and marshals for your support.
Throughout the week our members of all ages attended various cycling and non cycling events.

This alone was a challenge of mental & physical fitness, as he would Read more
