As part of our charity support we are delighted to share details on a cycling event being hosted by FareShare South West. Full details can be founds as follows:
We are delighted to announce that FareShare South West has partnered with Bristol Sport Foundation for Break the Cycle 2023 and we want you to join the team! Depending on your cycling ability and how much of a challenge you are up for, there is something for everyone and the event promises to be an amazing day in the saddle.
Break The Cycle has raised vital funds for Bristol Bears Community Foundation and Bristol Sport Foundation since its inception 13 years ago, and all registration fees in 2023 will support their projects across four key areas: education, participation, health, and inclusion. This year FareShare South West are joining forces and your fundraising will support communities in the South West struggling food insecurity during the cost-of-living crisis.
Taking place on Sunday, July 16th, we are looking for cyclists to join our Team. Participants can choose to cycle one of three brand new routes through the Mendips, designed by triple Olympian Oli Beckingsale. Riders can take a Bronze (42 miles), Silver (66 miles) or Gold (100 mile) cycle loop, that all start and finish at Ashton Gate Stadium. This is not a race, the event is carefully organised so that all riders, regardless of the challenge they undertake, arrive back at Ashton Gate mid-afternoon for the infamous homecoming celebration. We have it on good authority that the sponsors of this celebration will be Bristol Beer Factory and Nandos!
We require all riders to cover the registration cost of £40 (for Bronze) and £50 (for Silver and Gold), and we are encouraging a fundraising target of £250 for Bronze and £300 for Silver and Gold. We will support you in setting up individual or group Just Giving page and can help with ideas to boost your fundraising along the way. As places are limited, please get in touch with sophie.coles@faresharesouthwest.org.uk to let us know how many places you would like to reserve on the FareShare South West Team, or please feel free to share this email and individuals can sign up for further information via the form on the website.
Keep on pedalling….
And if fundraising on two wheels isn’t your thing, we have some 10km, half marathons and even a muddy obstacle course on offer too. Check out our website for further details.
