The Polka Dot Challenge - “Spud” Riley Memorial Gran Fondo will be run for the 8th time on Sunday 6th June next year. Same organiser & helpers as in previous years. Same HQ & format – 2 distances, 50 and 100 miles. 2 Feeding stations /Controls - free car parking - free refreshments at HQ after finish. Fully signed route. 16 classified climbs. Maximum of 600 entries. Same entry fee (£20) as previous years. Entries open mid December (exact date to be announced on this forum & our web-site
This is a good solid Sportive - value for money - everything you need but no fancy expensive add-ons. All surplus income from the entries goes to Christies Cancer Hospital, Manchester. This year we gave £12,000 to Christies, £62,000 donated to the hospital since we started the events.
For further information go to www.polkadotchallenge.co.uk. Hope you will all support us again in 2010.
Riders please note: we have never promised to provide a free cooked breakfast before the event, nor have we ever served sausages at the feeding stations.
