This is a fund raising cycling event organised by The Prospect Hospice. Last year we helped by marshalling and sweeping the event.
This year MBSwindon Club are planning the routes. There will be a fairly easy 24km (15 mile) option suitable for most bikes and a more interesting 40km (25 mile) aimed at mountain bikers. Both routes will use parts of the Croft Trail in Swindon – a 5.5km loop of singletrack built by volunteers from MBSwindon.
The Big Adventure Store will be on site on the day along with Cube who are bringing some demo bikes.
It costs £10 to register and the Prospect Hospice welcome donations or sponsorship money on top of this. Don’t be put off by the £100 text! You can enter and make a donation if collecting sponsorhip is too much hassle.
Telephone entry still available: 01793 816161 and then entry on the day.
