2021 Frank Papp Memorial Handicap Details Sat 26th June 12pm - POSTPONED
Sorry Everyone we have had to postpone this event due to low entry number and the threat of very poor weather. We will look for an alternative date possibly in October. All entries will be refunded in full.
Frank Papp was a club member who passed away in an accident while riding in 2011. Frank was the sort of bloke who made you feel like you'd known him for years, only a few minutes after meeting him and he is missed by all who knew and rode with him. Frank loved riding huge distances training for audax rides and Paris-Brest-Paris, so it's only fitting that our longest and hardest race of the year is held in his memory.
