EVENT | 6th Sep 2015 |
Set up by a team of cycling enthusiasts, all of whom have lost a family member or a friend to cancer, Bike 4 Cancer is primarily a provider of days out and short-breaks for British families affected by cancer.
We also make grants to UK based care institutions and support research into the positive effects of exercise (e.g. cycling) and how it can help with cancer prevention and recovery.
The 56 mile route starts on Clapham Common and travels through Mitcham, Carshalton, Chipstead, Banstead and Haywards Heath. Riders are also tasked with climbing the infamous Ditchling Beacon before the descent into Brighton!
Any competent cyclist over the age of 16 can take part. Although some training for this event will be required, completing this challenge should be within most people's capabilities.
The spirit of the event is 'taking part' not crossing the finish line first, so go as fast or as slow as you like!
Given this event is limited to 4,000 riders, the route is less crowded than other similar cycling events. The lower numbers arguably make for a safer ride.
Your £40 entry fee includes a buffet lunch mid-route, water stations, finisher's medal, breakdown & medical assistance, signage and marshalling.
PLEASE NOTE: As there is an additional cost to Bike 4 Cancer for you to take part (on top of the £40 entry fee), we ask that you raise a minimum sponsorship fund of £100 to take one of our places.
Because places are limited to 4,000 riders they sell out very fast. To avoid disappointment, please register early by clicking on the register here button below.
