We will be holding our 12th Annual Sponsored Bike Ride on Sunday 21st September. Our aim is to raise £4000. We hope you will join in the fun and help us achieve this target!

The ride is approximately 28 miles starting at the Centre in Cuckfield and then winding through mainly quiet leafy lanes to a picnic lunch stop in the garden of a beautiful country house in the shadow of the Downs near Hurstpierpoint. Then meandering back for tea and cake at the Centre finish point.

The 1st section to the lunch stop is about 17 miles and the afternoon section is about 12 miles. There is an option for younger riders or the less able, to do just the 1st section and get a lift back to the Centre in the support truck. Please indicate if this is a possible requirement when you register.

Registration: There is a registration fee of £7.50 per adult payable in advance. There is no registration fee for accompanied children (age 10 – 16). Places are restricted to a maximum of 50, so please get your application in soon to be sure of a place.

Sponsorship: We hope as many riders as possible will collect much needed sponsorship money. The simplest way to do this is to register with Justgiving.com. In a few minutes you can create your own page and then simply e-mail the link to all your friends. This way, you don’t have to go round to everyone collecting cash – it all gets collected on your behalf and is paid directly to the Triangle Healing Trust. What’s more, Justgiving automatically collect the Gift Aid contribution for taxpayers! Alternatively, you can use the traditional sponsorship form which you can download here.

If you are unable to raise sponsorship, you can make a donation (suggested minimum £10 per rider). There is no additional charge for the picnic lunch and afternoon tea.

Health & Safety & the Highway Code: Cycling can be hazardous and all riders should observe the rules of the Highway Code, and to follow instructions/directions given by marshals. We cannot be held responsible for loss or damage to personal effects, or for any injury to any participant or loss, damage or injury to the general public or their property. If you are not a regular cyclist, we recommend that you take a bike ride 2/3 times a week for several weeks prior to the event, gradually increasing the distance you cycle. All cyclists are advised to wear a suitable cycle helmet, and to carry drinking water, first aid bandages and a puncture repair kit.
