Angus CC events

Alex Pattison at Angus CC sent in an information about their forthcoming events which sound pretty amazing...
The events are run as Audax events, with a relaxed friendly atmosphere for riders wanting a nice day out, but scope for a fast pace for those that want a good burn-up.

Already some interest on the forum
