Who can take part?
The event is for riders of all ages and abilities and is suitable for the whole family, as well as individuals.
Entry Fee
Every participant is asked to pay a £10 entry fee. This covers the cost of running the event which this year includes a chip timing system allowing the more competitive riders to time their ride accurately and provide a list of results. This is also a valuable safety check. Your T shirt and refreshments throughout the ride are also included in the entry fee. Every penny of what you raise in sponsorship will go to the nominated charities.
