Great British Bike Ride 2011

Stop Press: Phil Vickery - The Raging Bull himself will be riding the complete event and has persuaded Ieuan Evans to join him.

After raising well over a £100K for the Charities: ‘Help for Heroes’, ‘The RFU Injured Players Foundation’ and the ‘RPA Benevolent Fund’, the Great British Bike Ride, from Lands End to Twickenham Stadium has now been confirmed again for 2011. This hugely successful event is co-organised by Quinssa & HPA member Chris Munton and will now take place between July 5th and July 9th.  
 
Following it’s hugely successful launch last year, the Event goes from strength to strength with TNT joining as the new title sponsor coupled with the support of Wooden Spoon. The arrival at Twickenham now coincides with the annual Middlesex Charity 7’s and is planned to form an integral element of the 7’s for a few years.

Event Ambassador for this year, John Inverdale, himself a keen cyclist, will be lining up a team of celebrity rugby players and, subject to his BBC duties will be riding himself.

 
Full details can be found on the website: www.greatbritishbikeride.com and if you do visit the site, check out the Rider feedback from last year – everybody had a really great time. With only 200 full event places available, and over 100 riders from last year keen to participate, don’t delay in registering. Daily stage riders are also welcome and the very ‘manageable’ Day 4 ride from Winchester RFC to Esher RFC is suitable for everybody after appropriate training and preparation.
