Tour Series professional cycle race comes to Peterborough

Yesterday saw Peterborough city centre become bike-ville. It was all about cycling with a smoothie bike (pedal and squeeze fresh organe juice), old fashioned bike display, local amateur cycle group races, and a kids BMX track all crammed into Bridge street and the Cathedral Grounds.

At 4pm members of the public were allowed a go on the professional race course, before the professionals took over at 7pm. It was a really exciting evening and there was definitely a buzz in the city.

Let's hope the tour series comes to Peterborough again next year. Well-done to Opportunity Peterborough and Peterborough City Council for arranging it all!
