Women’s Day Ride

Next Friday (8th March) is International Women’s Day and to mark it the Friday Club run will ride in solidarity with the Afghan Women’s Cycling Team.
With the Taliban back in power in Afghanistan, women are banned from most things including sport.

All club members are  welcome on the ride with women particularly welcome. We meet on The Square in Market Harborough from 9.15am ready to depart at 9.30.
