Diabetes UK is holding a sponsored bike ride through the scenic Peak District on
Sunday 23rd September 2012. There are 2 routes to chose from,
25 miles or 50 miles, both of which are circular routes starting and finishing at
Tittesworth Water, Meerbrook, near Leek, Staffordshire, ST13 8SW. Registration for the 50 mile route will take place from 8:30am -9:30am and for the 25 mile route, 9:30am to 10:30am.
The event is all on road and will be marshalled all the way with back up vehicles en route also. The event is open to all ages and abilities. Any cyclist under the age of 16 will need to have a participating parent or guardian present at the event.
The cost to enter in the event is
£10 in advance per cyclist which helps us cover the cost of the event. In addition we ask that participants
try to aim to raise £75 in sponsorship as part of our overall aim to raise £10,000 to go towards research at this event. All participants will receive a Diabetes UK
t-shirt and a goody bag as a memento of the day. The person who raises the most sponsorship will
win a Sedona bike (or equivalent) worth £349 generously donated by Giant! There will also be runners up a prize of a Quick Fix Combo Pack RRP £29.99 (includes a mini pump, saddle bag, tool, and puncture repair kit)
