This is a informal event, open to all taking advantage of the closed road. Entry is free, however Minehead Cycling Club are raising funds to support cycle rehabilitation for Scott Huish an MCC member who is recovering from a stroke in his 40’s , so please come along, make the most of a car free road, and ride of a good cause.
