“Penny Farthing,” taking part courtesy of The Solent Veteran Bicycle &
Tricycle Club.
Riders can choose to do 1, 2, or 3 laps of a 5 mile circular route that
takes you through the beautiful Sussex Countryside starting from the Bourne
Community Leisure Centre, Southbourne.
In 2007 nearly £2000 was raised on this bike ride – this time we’re hoping
you’ll go the extra mile and raise even more to help fund life-saving BHF
research.
Awards will be given for the individual rider and team/family who collect
the greatest amount of sponsor money and there will be a draw for a Mountain
Bike supplied by Emsworth Car and Cycle Ltd.
