I heard about it after seeing an article in last week's Hexham Courant, and got in touch with Ted who's organising it.
Tickets available at Hexham Bike Shop, or pay on the door. Entry fee goes into the development fund.

t-p 26, care to expand on that?
I've never heard of the guy before today, but ultimately he is the local IMBA rep, so in theory should be doing good things and should be listening to the locals?

I too have been to a meeting hosted by Ted. He is very pro cycling and is keen to promote it in all it's forms. I believe he gives most of his time free of charge.

In will be going along to the meeting, I hope to meet some of the STW crew there.
