MORE than 400 cyclists have already signed to take part in next month’s Tour de Tendring – but it is still not too late to take part.

Final preparations are under way for the popular event, which takes in Clacton, St Osyth and Great Bentley.

The event heads off from Dovercourt Bay Lifestyles, in Low Road, on May 17 before snaking through the district and finishing at the same venue.

There are three distances to suit all aspirations, starting with six miles, increasing to 20 miles and even a gruelling 60-mile course.

The two longer distances start between 8.30am and 9.30am, while those heading off for six miles begin between 9.30am and 10.30am.

Entertainment will be provided throughout the day in Low Road.
