Manchester to Blackpool Bike Ride - Sunday 4th July

The club will be taking part in this years Manchester to Blackpool 'Charity' Bike Ride on Sunday 4th July.  We have decided to do it for Wigan Hospice who will support us on the way with free transportation and food, in return they ask for each cyclists to get sponsorship.

The bike ride is exactly what is says on the tin! we start from Old Trafford and finish at Blackpool with 3 stops along the way at approx 20 mile intervals giving a total distance of 60 miles.

Unlike the 100 mile challenge this ride is for 'all abilities' and everyone is welcome as there are literally thousands of other cyclists taking part.

The cost is £15.00 and for that fee you get :

Complimentary T-shirt



Optional transport for you and your bike from Wigan to the start in Manchester.



Optional return Transport from Blackpool to Wigan.



Backup support vehicles providing bike repair, puncture repair, selection of spare wheels, replacement bikes and basic first aid.



Private refreshment stops en-route.



Support contact numbers.
 
If you would like to take part then i will need your £15.00 by the end of May with your completed form which you can download here : http://www.wlh.org.uk/Resources/Wigan%20and%20Leigh/Documents/PDF/2010%20Entry%20Form.pdf
 
There are also around 13 'Atherton Running Club' members doing the ride not all experienced cyclists so it should be a good day out especially if the sun is shining.
 
I will be putting some training rides on the blog to help get you in shape.
