Saturday 6th October 2018.  The Wooler Wheel Classic.

The original which has run since 2012 and continues to grow in popularity.  Along with the two existing routes of 50km and 100km this year in repsonse to rider requets we are offering a 75km route.  All routes take in the beautiful North Northumberland countryside.  A great introduction for first time sportivers, but still demanding rides for experienced cyclists.  A perfect way to wind down the season for elite cyclists. Entries for this event are now open (entries close Sunday 30th September 2018).
