We’ve been busy planning, processing bookings, dealing with trade stands, security, showers, talking with the council and more… and the Rally is now just a few months off!
Earlybird campsite bookings ended a few days ago now, but until the 1st June you can still save (and get in quicker via the fast-track desk) by pre-booking on the campsite.
For the latest update, come to our next meeting on April 11th! As usual it will be downstairs at ‘York Bike Shed’, Micklegate, York at 10 AM. We are looking at quieter venues, and the options for future meetings will be presented at this one. But for now, it’s back to the Bike Shed!
Finally, we’ve been busy spreading the word about the Rally and September’s Sportive. Here’s a round-up: thanks to everyone for the coverage!
