Next Event: 29th March 2015
Welcome to the Stevenage Start of Summertime Specials (SSOSS) event page.
Each year Stevenage and North Herts CTC organises a series of events to celebrate the start of summertime. These events usually run on the day that the clocks change, but are sometimes pushed back a week due to other events. There are 3 different routes to choose from depending on your preference of distance. Each year we get a huge turn out of riders who join us and have a great time.
We encourage everyone to enter in advance where possible.

Extra Information
It is impossible for us to organise and run these events without the help of volunteers. If you would like to volunteer to help with the ride then you can. You could even help if you are going to ride but can get to the start a bit earlier.
