Harnessing Opportunities through Play and Education

HOPE’s 2009 Cycle Challenge - London to Brighton.

This year’s cycle challenge is open for all those willing and able and will cover 70 miles on a beautiful scenic route from London to Brighton. Remember part of the beauty of this part of the world is the North and South Downs which means lots of hills!! It’s a tough challenge and will require a high fitness level, enough to cycle at least 70 miles in 7 - 8 hours.

 Are you... 

·                         Ready to take on a 2009 challenge? 

·                         Reasonably fit?

·                         Able to raise a minimum of £250 in sponsorship money for HOPE? 

·                         In ownership of or have access to a good bike?

·                         Wanting to help in the future of the young people we support?

·                         Free SUNDAY 12^th of JULY?  

If you think you are up for the challenge we would welcome your commitment. The ride will have some volunteer support but is not a fully fledged organised trip, so don’t expect a rub down and refreshments every 5 miles! We recommend training in the months beforehand is essential. Remember it is important that training should involve hours in the saddle as much as distance. A decent bike is also highly recommended with suitable gearing for the distance and terrain. (We can advise on this and recommend a service prior to setting out.)

Please contact us to find out more or to register.

If you are not up for the challenge why not join us for a celebration in Brighton after the event and welcome in the participants? More details to come soon...
