Le Tour de Tyringham Charity Bike Ride 2020

Covid-19 & Le Tour de Tyringham (update issued 24 March 2020) 

Dear fellow cyclists. 

We are all experiencing uncharted territory and wanted to share with you our plans for this year’s Le Tour de Tyringham. Currently we are planning to go ahead with the event and will review the situation in early July. This said we have decided to put a hold on any new registrations until July 17th.  So please check back from that date if you wish to join this year’s event. We will also email all previous participants once registration reopens.

If the event is cancelled in July anyone who has already registered for this year’s ride will be contacted and offered the choice of a full refund or the option to roll over registration to next year. If you have any questions please contact us at Tyringhamcharity@gmail.com

In the interim please keep safe and look after each other.

Regards
