Manchester and District Ladies Cycling Association

First of our designated 10 mile events, this one is run by the M&DTTA. Sunshine so far, we are all set up at the finish!

The sun is shining, the road surfaces are smoothing and the TT season is officially underway….. what’s not to love🌞😍🌞

Our events are approaching 🥳. However, we’re short on marshals…. We can’t run our events without the support of our wonderful volunteers. Please check out the below dates for our 2 * 10TT events on 6th & 27th June and our 25TT on 18th July.
