UK CYCLE CHALLENGE
For the cycling enthusiasts, you can choose from either the 50km route or the BIG 100km route. Both are circular and start and finish at Coate Water Country Park near Swindon. This peaceful park is just 5 minutes from the M5, convenient to the town and on the edge of some of the most glorious and rolling countryside in Britain. The routes are mixed terrain and mountain bikes are essential as there are plenty of muddy patches and puddles. Most of the routes are on country lanes and undulate throughout, making for a varied and enjoyable ride in spectacular scenery. This event is challenging so good preparation is essential. If you are interested in completing this challenge to raise funds for animals in need, email us to register your interest at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it . The cost of the event is £65 for the 100km route and £55 for the 50km route and includes the same event assistance as the walking challenge. All funds raised over and above this will be used for the benefit of companion animals.
