The sportive is basically a long training ride with the useful addition of a map and directions. The ride will set off from the Ancholme Leisure Centre at 8am and riders will be able to choose whether they do the full 100 miles or cut the route short to 100 km when they reach Market Rasen at the 46 mile mark. The ride is limited to 500 so secure your place now for just £15 before the 29th March 2012 (£20 on the day). There will be a cut off time for the 100 miler.
The sportive is now in memory of Paul Kirk who took part in the event with his daughter in 2011 and sadly suffered a fatal heart attack while halfway through the ride. The family would also like the event to continue in aid of Lindsey Lodge Hospice.
Lindsey Lodge Hospice offers very special care for people in the North Lincolnshire area living with life-limiting conditions such as cancer, multiple sclerosis and motor neurone disease. Every year hundreds of patients and their loved ones benefit from the care and support that they provide free of charge.
There are facilities at the Leisure Centre where you can get changed and have a shower.
