A wonderful mid-distance sportive covering a 53mile route, starting from Wythenshawe Park in Manchester (map here) and taking riders through beautiful Lancashire and Cheshire countryside to finish at Christleton Hall, just outside Chester. The ride, organised by Bike Events, aims to raise money for KidsCan, who undertake research to support children with cancer, and all entrants are encouraged to raise money for the cause. Starting between 8 and 10am, the supported route is all on-road and transport for both riders and their bikes is available for the return to Manchester at an additional cost of £23 per-person.
Entry to the event itself is £17 (£10 for students) with team entries for six or more available at £16.50 per-rider. Further details and online entry at bike-events.com
