Tandem Trekkers does 100 mph

No, your eyes are not deceiving you. Tandem Trekkers plan to do 100 miles in an hour around the Leeds Road athletics track (Address: Leeds Road Playing Fields, Leeds Road, Huddersfield HD2 1YY) on Saturday 2nd September.

Tandems will be circulating the track a total of 400 times, the equivalent of 100 miles, between 930 and 10:30 am.

The crews will consist of our normally sighted pilots (front rider) teamed up with blind and partially sighted stokers (rear rider).

The aim of the ride is to provide much-needed funds for our tandem club. We have running costs approaching £7000 per year in order to provide tandem rides every weekend between the start of March and the end of November for our 80 members. We can take a maximum of 15 tandems on each ride.

You can come along and cheer us on the day if you want.

Many Thanks
