News from Nick T
Ciao a tutti (hello all in Italian apparently?). This week we returned to Glooston village hall (fast becoming the MVSC club house) and were treated to Caroline’s Italian Bolognese (who knew you can buy Gluten free pasta?)

Update from Nick Timms
So – we’re seven rides into the new MVSC season and it’s been a story of mostly dodging showers and great turnouts. The ‘E-bike’ group has attracted some new riders but please let any friends you have with e-bikes know
First Two MVSC Rides of 2024

Mcmillan Sportive on Saturday 18th May
Discover the quiet roads and off-road trails of Leicestershire & Rutland with four rewarding but challenging routes crossing scenic undulating vales and rolling countryside. The event includes a free refreshment stop for all the routes.
