ON Saturday I joined the crowds in Horwich to watch the road races around Rivington, and what an enjoyable day it was.

I would like to say thank you to the organisers on how well it all went.

But a special thank you must surely go to the residents, who had to endure the crowds, road closures and their otherwise peaceful weekend disrupted.

All in all it made the two events into a very enjoyable day. It only goes to show that there is life north of London and that we can organise important events just as efficiently.
