The Dinnington promotions for 2010 have been updated on the web site page. The Tom Simpson Memorial Ride will be on Sun 28th Feb 2010 starting from the Harworth sports pavillion at 10am. I am working on the arrangements and hopefully improving the post ride refeshments this year. Hope to see you there!

I have had some negative feedback about last years ride and I would just like to put on record that the Tom Simpson Ride is not intended to be a supported sportive, or an organised race. It is a group of local club members coming together for a hard ride, to raise money for charity in the tradition of the old reliability trials.
With any group ride there is the risk of an incident, a fall, going off course etc and I am sure experienced riders will appreciate this.
Despite a couple of unfortunate crashes, one relating to a dog running out into the road, last years event was very enjoyable and this year I hope for good weather and another good ride. But be aware there will be no marshals, no signs and no ambulance support - just like any other Sunday club ride!

With regards to the Tom Simpson ride i have been a member of Dinnington for approximately 6 months now and although i have not participated in previous Tom Simpson rides i have heard nothing but positive reports from members and non-members alike. As Ian D mentioned , this day is all about trying to raise a few quid for charity with the bonus of spending a few hours on the bike with friends new and old. I for one cannot wait and if this event means i am actually motivated to spend some time on my turbo even better!!!

 Yes the route shown is the short route, the longer route goes around Retford to Clayworth, then follows route on the map
