Commemorating the 50th anniversary of Tom Simpson’s death on Mont Ventoux in 1967, Lincoln Bike Night is proud to welcome Barry and Helen Hoban for a unique insight into the life of a grand tour cyclist in the 1960s.
The event will begin with the BBC documentary “A Death On A Mountain” and we are lucky enough to be joined by Chris Sidwells who will be displaying one of Tom’s bikes, his rainbow jersey and other personal items.
Bike night will also be running its usual raffle, this time donating to the Tom Simpson Memorial Fund
