Join us for the Tour de Lewis, a course in 3 courses on 1st May 2017:
Please be seated!
We couldn't wait until July to do another event, so we thought we'd squeeze in something different with our good friends from Lewis Partnership on the May Bank Holiday.
What's the Tour de Lewis all about?
The idea is that it goes something like this
Some bike riding
Some food
Some more bike riding
Some more food
One last bike bit of riding
A little more food
Starting at the Moat House in Acton Trussell, our route takes us to all 3 rural Lewis Partnership properties in Staffordshire and at each stop you'll have the chance to sample something tasty with a Staffordshire twist. Call it a gastro tour, we like the idea of a course with three courses. The route is signed and we'll release a .gpx and .tcx file for those with GPS units.
It's our way of celebrating Staffordshire Day.

Camera's are your only friend when supported by a halfway helpful police force....
Whilst I agree with the sentiment. 8-10 years not driving (3-4 years in chokey + 5.5 after) is hardly a few. Hyperbole doesnt help.
This. Seems like a clear case of Federal interference with the State legislation.
It was a tongue-in-cheek reference to the regular debates about this subject 'swldxer' used to initiate on this forum 😉!...
I was lucky enough to buy a Wattbike Atom in late 2019. It was an absolute godsend during the COVID times, and has served me well ever since. I've...
Mechanical shifters are recharged by eating food as you ride. Just saying....
For a typical garage thief, I'd imagine that the ordinary has been sold off for scrap by now…
Looks like they just painted a clay mould... The actual frame has been tossed in the bins at their workshop.
Are they least acceptable when unlicenced or unlicensed though?
Here in NL a lot of the bike shops use a ceiling mounted hoist to lift bikes rather than workstands. Not surprising, some bikes like the transport...
