A massive non-competitive cycling event is set to take place in Preston on Sunday 23rd July.
The Preston PedalFest cycle sportive, which is being sponsored by Russell & Russell’s personal injury department, will start from Avenham Park at 8.00am.
There are two routes taking in the views of the beautiful Lancashire countryside. The longer course is 65 miles, cycling through the Ribble Valley, Great Mitton and Whitewell before arriving in Dunsop Bridge to tackle the infamous Trough climb. There’s a food stop half way at Abbeystead.
A shorter route of 37 miles follows the same course, but forks off at Wilpshire via Longridge and over to Inglewhite before re-joining the route back to Preston.
Entrants can take home their own professional photo of themselves in action. All participants will be electronically timed and everyone taking part will be treated to free bacon butties and a brew at the finish.
To mark the occasion, Russell & Russell is offering a great give away of a pair of Oakley Radar EV Iridium sunglasses on the firm's Facebook page. Follow the instructions and a winner will be picked at random at 12 noon on Friday 21st July.
Anyone interested in entering the sportive has to be 16 years old or over and can register on line at www.epicevents.co.uk. Entries will close at 12 noon on Thursday 20th July or when the event is full.
