Lancashire Loop Cycle Challenge

The Lancashire Loop Cycle Challenge has something to suit everyone. Whether you are a novice cyclist and looking for a new challenge, or someone who can easily notch up 50+ miles just for fun, you are perfect for this fundraising event!

This year's Lancashire Loop Cycle Challenge takes place on Sunday 30th September 2012 when we will once again be setting up our registration HQ at Cockerham Village Hall in the heart of Lancashire.

Three circular routes are on offer, each taking you on a beautiful journey through the picturesque Ribble Valley, Bowland Fells and Lune Valley.

The 18 mile option is the flattest of the routes and most suitable for novice cyclists and those cycling with children. The 50 mile route hits you with a few hills to start off with but, once you're past the 30 mile point, it becomes a lot flatter and each year we have many inexperienced cyclists successfully complete the circuit. The 100 mile challenge is geared towards experienced cyclists as you will climb 5,000ft throughout the course.

All three routes are fully signed and on road and you will be supported by a team of back markers, minibuses and a bike mechanic should you encounter any problems. Refreshments are also available on the route as well as at the registration HQ - so why not arrange for family and friends to come and support you at the finish line as your very own cheering squad?!

This year we are offering two different types of registration.

18 mile route - Registration is a non-refundable £20*, sponsorship is a minimum £30

50 mile route - Registration is a non-refundable £20*, sponsorship is a minimum £30

100 mile route - Registration is a non-refundable £39*, with no minimum sponsorship

There is no minimum sponsorship for the 100 mile route, but we ask all our cyclists to do their best to raise what they can, to support our current projects in the region.

*The first hundred participants who sign up before July 20th 2012 will receive a £10 voucher to spend at any Edinburgh Bicycle Co-operative store or online. Simply click on the link on your registration email to receive your voucher (one per cyclist)
