Heard about the 2009 Otesha UK cycle tours? We hadn't until today, but would like to pass on this invite we received (especially as we're outside the age range!). 'Want to do something fun, challenging and worthwhile with your summer? Well be taking in the delights of the UK from our saddles, performing a play, making the world a better place, learning new skills (bike maintenance, theatre, consensus decision-making, group living... the list goes on), meeting new friends, and generally making mischief...wait, did we mention that you're invited? If you're 18 to 28 and passionate about creating a sustainable future, then come ride with us. Find out more at Otesha Project Cycle Tours.
Places are first come, first served, so get your skates on! If you have any questions or would just like to have a chat about it, then give us a call on 0207 841 8939.
Thanks!
Peace and bicycle grease,
Hanna'

Future of Cheshire Cycleway when Cheshire splits
Currently, the Cheshire Cycleway is signposted by Cheshire County Council's highways section. The county council also produces an outline route map, and markets the route to tourists as these visitors support local businesses and boost the local economy, especially in rural areas.
But we're not sure what will happen to this county-wide initiative when the county council and all the local councils disappear. They will re-emerge in April as just two unitary authorities (Chester & Cheshire West; Cheshire East). The councillors have already been elected, so we've asked both shadow authorities what their plans are. Chester is a new Cycling Town, and Chester/Cheshire West have appointed a cycling officer for their patch. Cheshire East is more of a mystery at this stage.
Once we have some answers, we'll post them on our Cheshire Cycleway site.
