Congratulations to everyone who has taken part in the BTR Virtual race Series so far. So the first month has been completed and we have our early leaders.
The virtual series will continue over the months of July and August and at the end of the three months the winners in each race will receive a winners trophy - so can you improve on the June times and get yourself at the top of the leader board?
If you're not aiming for the top spot then you can use any of the distances as great motivation to get you through this period of lock down - and you will also be helping support a local business during very difficult times.
