Tour de Tech
Tour de Tech – a summer cycling series – June to September
I am delighted to invite you to join the ‘Tour de Tech, a summer cycling series that will bring together entrepreneurs, investors and professionals for an evening bike ride, some food and some high quality networking. I hope you will join us for as many of the dates as you can – these will run every two weeks from June to September. Each ride will start and end by a pub around Oxford and one of the Tour de Tech members will plan a route on quiet roads. It is a chance to ride with a group, make the most of the summer weather, discover new rides in the area and of course meet some new people. We have arranged a meal deal with each of the pubs. It is all informal and the purpose if just to get some interested and like-minded people together. All abilities welcome! Please click on the link below to sign up and join the Strava group. www.tourdetech.net As ever, it is the people involved that will make it fun and I would be grateful if you could forward this email to two friends who you think might enjoy getting involved -  Entrepreneurs, CXOs, Investors, tech transfer professionals, legal and financial professionals, etc. The first event will kick off on Tuesday 13 June at 6pm from the Bear & Ragged Staff in Cumnor, just 3 miles out of Oxford and we will do a 30-40km loop through the quiet country roads. There will be an informal dinner back at the pub afterwards. Kind regards and happy cycling! David Mott
