I've managed to get some information about the nearest event to us, in the Pearl Izumi Tour Series.
It's in Redditch town centre on Tuesday 4th June and includes the Johnson Grand Prix Series Round 3 AND the Pearl Izumi Tour Series Round 7.
The Programme for the event is as follows:-

I understand that, as one of the biggest Pearl Izumi Dealers in the area - Ride Cycle Sport, at 6 Holbrook Lane, Coventry have been asked to promote the event...
So on Saturday, June 1st, AND Tuesday June 4th they will be giving the first 125 customers, who make a purchase (even a single energy gel!) a free Pearl Izumi bottle, supporter bang sticks and head band. Hidden in two of the 125 bottles will be a silver or golden ticket. If you are lucky enough to get the silver ticket you will win £100 worth of Pearl Izumi clothing and if you get the gold ticket you will win £200 worth!
On Tuesday (the day of the event in Redditch) each customer will get a Pearl Izumi cup cake as well.
So a visit to Ride could set you up nicely for the nearest of the Pearl Izumi Tour Series @ Redditch.
