The long route is going to have a bonus section which adds another good downhill run.
We've already got the Croft Trail plus the best local downhill run included in the route.
There's going to be a local bike shop at the start/finish and they've confirmed that Cube bikes will be there too.
Online registration is open: http://www.prospect-hospice.net/index.a ... _Bike_ride0 -
We've got permission to use a short section of footpath.
This means that we've got the 15, 25 and 30 mile options as we want them.0 -

Don't be put off by the sponsorhip blurb either. It costs £10 to enter. Make a £10 donation on top and it'll match the cost of most other similar events.0

Local bike shop The Big Adventure Store will be there on the day with the Cube demo team.
