Team Midland –Pudsey 24Hr

Paralympian Simon Richardson (pictured here) and some fellow cyclists are planning to transport Pudsey Bear round this track Non Stop for 24 hrs at Calshot Velodrome in Southampton.

To do this riders will be assembled into teams. (Ideally 4 riders or more) Within each team there will be an appointed Team Leader (dressed in a yellow jersey and carrying Pudsey on the front of his bike).

Each team will ride in Team Pursuit style for the dedicated period. (1 hour with a bike computer measuring distance travelled).

The teams will change every hour and the distance covered will be posted on the TM Racing web site.
