Registration Open For Rotary Dorset Bike Ride
Registration is now open for this year’s Rotary Dorset Bike Ride in aid of Cancer Research UK (CRUK).
The event takes place on Sunday 8th September, starting from Longthorns Campsite near Wareham.
Now in its eighth year, 2018 saw over 730 riders from across Dorset and southern England raise nearly £50,000 for CRUK. Organisers are hoping to beat both the number of riders and the
amount raised, to top over £300,000 in total since the event started in 2012.
Entrants can choose from eight different routes varying from 10 to 108 miles through the beautiful Dorset countryside. The event, which starts and fi nishes at Longthorns Campsite (near Wareham), caters for families as well as the more experienced cyclist.
Included in the nominal registration fee are free car parking, free food stations around the route and free massages at the fi nish point. Feedback from riders is always very positive, with plenty of marshalls and full route marking.
Many of the riders bring their own personal stories of family members or friends who have fallen ill with cancer. There is an amazing sense of wanting to do something to help fi nd cures for the
many different types of cancer.
Richard Burnett from Westbourne Rotary, organiser of the 2019 event said:
“We’re looking forward to another successful year. We are optimistic that we can raise around £50,000 again this year, thanks to the support of the hundreds of cyclists who come along to take part in the event. Cancer Research UK is at the forefront of helping to fi nd new cures for cancer. Those taking part in the 2019 Rotary Dorset Bike Ride will be helping to push the research boundaries once again so we can increase survival rates beyond the current 50% (over 10 years).”
The cost of staging this event is covered by the sponsors so that, as well as the sponsorship raised by the riders, the entire entry fee goes to Cancer Research UK. This year’s sponsors include: Daily Echo, Dorset Echo, Longthorns Campsite, Actavo, Harvest Fine Foods and Dorset Flapjacks.
The whole event is organised by the Rotary Club of Westbourne (Charity No. 1111184).
