A BLUR of wheels and pedals is set to encircle the centre of Exeter this month, bringing thousands to the streets for a first-ever
cycling extravaganza. The city has been chosen to host the glitz and glamour of the new Tour Series, an action-packed street cycle race that sees the country’s top 10 teams going head to head at 10 different venues across the UK. The massive sporting event has also joined forces with Prostate Cancer Charity to help fight the most common cancer in men in the UK. The series is in its first season and Exeter is one of the lucky 10 host cities, with its round being raced on Thursday, May 28. It is expected to bring a festival atmosphere to the city during the half-term break &mdash and give a significant boost to city centre businesses. For full story, see today’s Echo.
