Great news for local cycling with launch of South Derbyshire cycling legacy

We were recently invited to an event at South Derbyshire District Council to be part of a discussion towards the creation of a cycling legacy in South Derbyshire as part of the ambitious Derbyshire cycling plan.

In an interactive session attended by several different organisations there were many good points raised including a lot of positive aspects of work currently ongoing as well as recognition of the challenges faced in increasing participation in cycling.

A stakeholder group is being formed as explained in the link below from the South Derbyshire District Council Website.  If you passionate about cycling and feel that you want to be involved please click on this link for further details.

This is a huge step forward for cycling within the local area but also has the potential aside from the environmental aspects, to be beneficial for the health of future generations.

One of the events that will also kick start the legacy is the Aviva Womens tour which will pass through the area.  There is an event planned for Saturday 18th June at Eureka Park in Swadlincote which we will be attending (more details soon) to celebrate the tour coming through.

Details of the time of the tour are available on the Aviva Womens Tour 2016 website.  The event will run to cover the build up and aftermath of the tour.
