Competitive Cycling for Life ^
VTTA East Midlands is promoting an event to celebrate the life and sport of our friend Sean Vincent on the 26th April (3pm start) Sean was a talented Time-trialist and track rider and was taken this time last year by prostate cancer
All profits from the event will go to Together Against Cancer a local Leicester charity who provide complimentary therapy for cancer sufferers and Sean used their services during his treatment
https://www.togetheragainstcancer.org.uk/
The event is a ten mile on one of our local coursed on the A46 at East Bridgeford and I hope all those that knew or raced with Sean will attend or ride in his memory. Tea and cakes will be available at the HQ in Gunthorpe and we can remember Sean and celebrate our sport

I will be having a sale of cycling and travel books starting with my own and some which have been donated by friends so I would encourage people to bring a box of books for the sale and all the proceeds will again go to Together Against Cancer
We all have a stack of cycling related books and this is a great opportunity to do something good with them. I will be collecting and selling the books at all the VTTA (East Midland) events this year
so search me out with your donations
