Be part of one of the biggest cycling events in the country. This year the Great Notts Bike Ride, taking place on June 22nd will have a new, 100 mile sportive circuit added to its routes as well as a family lap challenge.
The Great Notts Bike Ride is bigger than last year, and more riders are anticipated to take part. There are rides open for all ages and of all levels of fitness.
The Great Notts Bike Ride will have four routes this year:
· 100 mile ride - a sportive route for the more serious cyclist that will take in North Nottinghamshire and parts of Sherwood Forest and costs £24 per person
· 50 mile ride - a challenge ride that goes to Newark before looping back to Holme Pierrepont and costs £10 per person
· 18 mile ride - a community ride that goes to Shelford before looping back to Holme Pierrepont and costs £10 per person
· Lap challenge - a ride for young cyclists on a closed circuit around Holme Pierrepont and costs £12 per family.
The County Council wants to increase the charitable impact of the event, aiming to double the donations generated from £40,000 in 2007 to £80,000 this year. An additional charity; The Geoff Thomas Foundation, has been added to the four which benefited last year; Marie Curie Cancer Care, When you Wish Upon A Star, Rainbows Hospice and Cerebral Palsy Sport.
