Villages gearing up for big cycling event


DOWNHAM, and other villages sur­ rounding Pendle Hill, are gearing up for the biggest event in the UK’s cy­ cling calendar. The National Road Race takes place on


Sunday, June 27th, with the 7.5 mile cir­ cuit on closed roads from Barley village up to Annel Cross, under Pendle Hill, down Wheathead Lane and along Blacko Bar Road to Roughlee and back to Barley. Transport will be provided at Downham


to take spectators to the top of the course at Annel Cross, which is just above Down­ ham. The women’s race starts at 8-30 a.m. with a midday e.xpecied finish, while the men’s race starts at 12-30 p.m. with a 5-30 p.m. expected finish.


Mark Sandamas, director of event or­


ganisation Pennine Events', said: “There’ll be a free shuttle bus service from the car park in Downham to get spectators to An­ nel Cross, as the road by Pendlc Hill will be closed during the day.We want Ribble Valley residents to get up close to the ac­ tion too! “There are still some places available


for local residents to volunteer as stewards and get even closer to the race. Stewards will get a T-shirl, goodie bag, lunch and free programme and the chance to be an important part of a major national event. Please contact us at Pennine Events on 01772 447979 or e-mail us at: denise@ pcnnineevents.co.uk if you’re interested.” The race will see Olympic stars and the

been to the community village hall in Downham, but his fingerprints inside the building show that is not the case,” she added.
