Given the forecast for tomorrow, and the weather warnings linked to Storm Darragh, we and BordersFest have taken the difficult decision to cancel the Christmas Community Cycling Event in the interests of safety. We're hugely disappointed but even the best laid plans are at the mercy of the weather.
