A SPONSORED bike ride is taking place next month with organisers inviting cyclists and families to take part in the Lake Vyrnwy 100.The challenge is to cycle 10 laps, over 100 miles, around Lake Vyrnwy to raise money for the Severn Hospice, Macmillan Cancer Support and Marie Curie Care on Sunday, November 15. But riders can just cycle one lap, as long as you raise plenty of sponsorship money!
The circuit of the lake is just over 11 miles and provides a steady ride on the mostly flat terrain and provides some excellent views. It is open to everyone who wants to take part, you can take up the challenge of the ten laps or just undertake a leisurely lap with the family. You will need drink and food to keep you going, basic spares (puncture repair kit, pump, etc) and waterproof clothing, just in case. Helmets are recommended as it is a public highway.
Sponsor forms are available by email from lakevyrnwy100@hotmail.com , from Stuart Barkley Cycles in Oswesty or download a sponsor form at http://lakevyrnwy100.blogspot.com/ to download a form.
The event will be starting at 9.30am for those undertaking the 100 Challenge, if you are doing one or more laps then turn up anytime. The base for the event will be the first car park past the Visitor Centre- the one with the big picnic tables overlooking the lake.
There will be a registration point, so take along your total raised. There are also cafes, bike hire and a visitor centre at the lake.
