The date of the Tour of the Reservoir, our top level Premier Calender Road Race, has been confirmed by British Cycling, the governing body, as Sunday March 30 2008 and will, as usual, attract the best riders in Britain and possibly from further abroad also. Mike Hodgson and his team are working towards this being one of the best and that’s some achievement as the race has a long and successful history. Start sheet as of 18 March 2008 below.
