Due to a potential clash in September between the Tickertape and The Cobble Wobble, this weekend’s Dig Day and the August Tickertape in a fortnight will be moved to the Sunday instead of the Saturday.
That means that we hope to see you at the Allotment at 10am this Sunday for some digging, raking and building!

Ben and Ben (Batt and Irons) were on the pace from the off-set with both taking great pride unveiling their [...]

It’s TickerTape this Sunday.
We’re riding Spoons.
The course has been modified (for this month only) to add a little spice, and mix things up a bit.
The changes add speed (to the fastest trail we’ve got) so lycra and bullet helmets may be an advantage.
I’m joking of course, bullet helmets help no-one. ever.
Timing starts at 11 and [...]
