stage 4 of the event
The challenging route in the East Midlands covers over 120 miles of picturesque countryside as it travels from Buxton to Nottingham.
Throughout the day on the Victoria Embankment, there had been many displays and events, stalls and information, to try and get more people involved with cycling for competition, or fun. Including these two chaps one is 12 years and the other 16.

However, there is another sort. Simply for polution-free travel and fun. However, it's bloody dangerous with all these cars thinking the road is just for them, and being thoughtless to cyclist.
Thus Critical Mass was born .....
Join the critical mass bikeride through Nottingham on every last Friday of the month, meeting at Savoy Cinema, 5.30pm, on Derby Road
