| The White Horse Cycle Challenge, 28 Nov - 13 Dec |
|---|
Leader:John Tranter |
Start Time:TBC |
Start Location:Uffington White Horse Hill |
Description:For nearly 20 years, Cycling UK Wantage has organised a festive fund-raising event supporting Whizz-Kidz, the children’s mobility charity: the Annual Mince Pie Ride to White Horse Hill. Sadly this year, the normal arrangements will not be possible, but the urge to challenge ourselves before Christmas and support Whizz-Kidz remains. So, we are pleased to present the White Horse Cycle Challenge:We challenge individual riders to climb the great Hill at a time of their choosing between 28 November and 13 December (on their own, in a household group or with one friend or small group in line with social distancing guidelines in place at the time), take a selfie or photo at the top for proof, get extra respect for taking their own mince pie up there and raise money for Whizz-Kids. Our target is to see 100 riders complete the challenge. We have set up a donations page, here: www.justgiving.com/fundraising/whitehorsecyclechallenge and would welcome donations to support the efforts of all riders, whether from riders themselves, their family or friends. The event is open to all to who enjoy a cycling challenge. We have contacted all the local cycling clubs. To help non regular or non-local cyclists give it a go, we are working on a route sheet from Grove and Wantage to White Horse Hill and back. Watch this space! We ask participants to post their photos on the club Facebook page at: https://www.facebook.com/groups/cyclingukwantage or to send by email to: info@cyclingukwantage.org.uk This address can also be used for enquires about the event. Take care, keep safe and enjoy the challenge! |
