OrchidCycle is all about raising money for Orchid - fighting male cancer. With your help we can raise vital funds for Orchid. The ride has been organised by Orchid in partnership with Basildon Cycling Club, Essex Roads Cycling Club, Herongate Cycles and Billericay Round Table. The ride takes place on Sunday 10 June 2007.

As last year there will be a Barbeque and refreshments for riders, friends and family. Also the return of the Bouncy Castle for those whose still have energy to burn, once again Herongate Cycles will run a breakdown service for emergencies.

This year's event once again covers 4 distances of 20, 40, 75 and 100 miles (the 'Essex-Tunner') and is designed for people of all fitness and abilities. The rides go through villages including Bicknacre, Little Baddow, Hatfield Peveral, Witham, Braintree, Finchingfield, Audley End, Thaxted, Hatfield Heath, Chipping Ongar, Kelvedon Hatch, Fryerning and Ingatestone, depending on which course you choose.

The 20 and 40 mile routes are fully signposted and checkpoints will operate at strategic locations. The 75 and 100 are not signed. However with over 200 riders likely to do the 100 this year there is always a group to settle into with someone who knows the route. (Route guides are provided.

For the shorter rides you don't need to be an experienced cyclist to take part, just have a moderate level of fitness.

Upon receipt of the entry fee you will receive a Rider Pack consisting of your Rider Number, Route Directions, Sponsor Form and Rider Rules.

Free parking is available at the start at Billericay station or located in Lake Meadows, which is accessible off Radford Crescent, Billericay. Upon arrival, riders must check in at the Event Headquarters.

Hope to see you there.
