Phoenix Events
| Phoenix cycling club has a busy couple of weeks ahead with two events on the calendar.
Firstly they will hold their annual reliability trial this Sunday 19th February. The event usually takes place from the House of Sport at Upper Malone but please check with the organiser to confirm venue and starting time before setting out. I understand that there will be a choice of two distances. |
