Sat Dec 10th 2022
The White Horse Cycle Challenge, 26 Nov - 10 Dec
Leader:
Steve Swanton
Start Time:
9:00 am
Start Location:
Anywhere of your choice
Description:
We challenge individual riders to climb the great Uffington White Horse Hill at a time of their choosing between Saturday 26th November and Saturday 10th December (on their own or in a group), 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 and to raise £2,000 for Whizz-Kidz. The fortnight kicks off with a club 2* ride to the Hill on Saturday 26th November.

We have set up a donations page here:

www.justgiving.com/fundraising/whitehorsecyclechallenge2022

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. To help non‑regular or non-local cyclists give it a go, we have put together a route sheet from Grove and Wantage to White Horse Hill and back. It can be found on the Route Sheets tab of the website - look for Route 8.

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 enquiries about the event.
