The current ‘Word on Worcestershire’, the county council’s rag, announces that Pedal in the Park, held alongside the Tour of Britain last year, will be happening again in 2008. This time on Saturday 19th July, again in Gheluvelt Park in the centre of Worcester.
Should be a fun day covering all sorts of cycling, ‘have a go’ on bikes ranging from the practical to peculiar, safety checks etc. More details when we have them.
Unfortunately there are no plans to re-run the similar, but smaller, Get Cycling event in Malvern.
UPDATE: link to the official info on Pedal in the Park 2008.

Most local cyclists won’t realise it, but Mountain Mayhem, the “biggest 24 hour race in the world” takes place in Eastnor Castle’s Deer Park every June. There is apparently a rush for bookings when the entry form goes live (midnight Friday, 29th Feb), according to Bike Radar. It’s off-road mountain biking with a variety of team and individual categories.
New this year is a ’sportive’ (onroad) 100km ride on the Sunday, 22nd June. This follows some of our favourite routes, kicking off with Castlemorton Common (watch out for cows on the road!) over the Hills via British Camp, Colwall, Bosbury, Woolhope Dome, Capler Hill, Hole in the Wall (almost to Ross) and back eastwards through Dymock and Ledbury. Could be interesting.
