Northern Rock Cyclone ChallengeEntries open for 2010 Northern Rock Cyclone Challenge
Entries are now open for the Northern Rock Cyclone Challenge, England’s biggest sportive ride, which takes place on Saturday 12 June 2010. The race starts from Newcastle Falcons Rugby Club’s ground at Kingston Park, and three itineraries are available, covering 33, 63 and 104 miles, respectively.
The ride forms part of the Northern Rock Cyclone weekend, running from 11-13 June, which includes the Beaumont Trophy on the Sunday, part of the Premier Calendar series and won last year by Bradley Wiggins as part of his preparation for the Tour de France.
The weekend gets underway on Friday 11 June with a series of criterium races in Leazes Park, with the elite race expected to attract leading racers from Britain, Ireland and the Continent, as it did last year.
Entry to the Northern Rock Cyclone Challenge can be made through the event website, which also includes details of the routes which pass through some of Northumberland’s spectacular scenery.
It costs adults £20 to enter, which includes feed stations, electronic timing, free bike checks at Cyclelogical in Newcastle, plus a personalised certificate, and phoptos of individual riders will also be available.

All those photos of Concerned Locals™ - surely a good moment for local cyclists to ride past, ideally in primary position?
Given that it is trying so hard to be really very modern and hi-tech, I'm sure that there would have been a better way of sorting out braking on...
I would assume there's some kind of transmission in this bit. Don't know about a 'clunk' though - if it's capable of mimicking all kinds of gear...
Weird. I went there a few weeks ago and all I saw was a cycle lane and plenty of free parking provision next to it, no keeerrraazy wiggly lines....
I suspect a different poster - our consistently unlucky (yet somehow surviving) wheelchair user never had anything good to say about cyclists!

It isn't the first time BC has avoided sending riders to events, even when there have been riders with potential.
