Event Details

In 1892, the second year of our existence, cycling touring was no new thing, but it was an unknown quantity with us. Therefore, at the beginning of the season, when a tour was mooted, we were all agog with excitement and many weird and wonderful schemes were suggested. We continue the tradition with this monster ride, roughly following that tour’s route. Read the full story of the Club’s first ever tour here.
