Cyclists get in training for Cycle4Cynthia and book early
Cycle4Cynthia, Northamptonshire’s annual charity cycle ride, is back for the fifth year running – with cyclists urged to sign up early to avoid disappointment.The event – which raises money for two charities, which provide care, and support for people with terminal illness in Northamptonshire, The Friends of Cynthia Spencer Hospice and Macmillan Cancer Support – is scheduled for Sunday, October 12th.
Cyclists can choose from three routes – five, 25 and 50 miles – and there is a discount for people who book their place early. Book now and adults will cost £10 to enter, children aged 12 and under are £5, and families (two adults, two children) are £25. Book after September 28th and adults will be charged £15, children £7.50 and families £30.
Sue Bownass, from The Friends of Cynthia Spencer Hospice, said: “Cycle4Cynthia is one of our biggest annual fundraising events. The commitment of the people taking part and their dedication to helping their local hospice is inspiring. People of all ages get involved/ / some with friends, some with their families and some just ‘go it alone’.
This year, largely thanks to our new venue at Franklin’s Gardens and the support we are receiving from the Saints, Cycle4Cynthia looks set to be our biggest event yet and we are aiming to raise a record amount of money for both the hospice and Macmillan Cancer Support. Enter early not only to avoid a late booking fee but also to guarantee your place at this incredible event.”
Last year Cycle4Cynthia raised a record £35,000 for the two charities and more than 450 people took part. This year organisers expect to attract hundreds more cyclists and are aiming to raise more than last year through entry fees and sponsorship.
The start line for all Cycle4Cynthia cyclists is the home of the Saints – Franklin’s Gardens, Weedon Road, Northampton.
