Whizz Kids Carnival time

Hi Whizz Kids, hope you’ve enjoyed half term.
We are in action next Saturday June 8th and it’s Carnival Time..also known as the “Worlds slowest club run!”
Whizz Kids have ridden the Market Harborough carnival procession for many years, longer than most Whizz Kids have been around. We would like as many riders as possible to take part to show off the club this Saturday 8th June for a very sedate, hour long, 2 mile ride around the town. The roads will be closed to traffic so it’s a great chance to ride in front of large crowds on the streets of Market Harborough, perhaps a taste of what it’s like to finish a major race in years to come. Parents and Senior club members are also welcome to ride with us and even the youngest riders will be slow enough for parents to walk alongside.
It’s an earlier start than normal as we’ll be meeting on Burnmill Road (the road up to Robert Smythe School) between 11:00 and 11:15am on Saturday morning ready for the parade to start spot on 11:30. We are right at the front of the procession so I suggest you aim for the bottom of Burnmill Road, somewhere near What3Words location ///pushover.glosses.friday All being well we’ll finish about an hour later and our finish rendezvous point is outside of St Mary’s chippy on St Marys Road (opposite the entrance to Symington’s rec), What3Words location ///midwinter.hobbyists.fork

I’ve been informed that we’ll be riding right at the front of the procession behind the steam traction engine which is acting as pacemaker. I’ll be at the meeting point early as usual and holding our space so just keep a lookout for me. Finally, there is no traffic allowed onto Burnmill road for safety reasons so you’ll need to park up and walk to the start, and away from the finish at the end. There are other events on so traffic will be heavier and parking in the town will be at a premium and you may have to park further away than you might expect. Please wear Whizz Kids / club kit if possible and don’t forget your bike, helmet and drink.
See you on Saturday morning!
