BHF Bourne Sponsored Bike Ride This year the Havant
Branch of the British Heart Foundation are holding the Bourne Sponsored Bike
Ride on the 18th May. The ride is suitable for cyclists of all ages; of
special interest will be a chance to see some unusual bicycles, including a
“Penny Farthing,” taking part courtesy of The Solent Veteran Bicycle &
Tricycle Club.
Riders can choose to do 1, 2, or 3 laps of a 5 mile circular route that
takes you through the beautiful Sussex Countryside starting from the Bourne
Community Leisure Centre, Southbourne.
In 2007 nearly £2000 was raised on this bike ride – this time we’re hoping
you’ll go the extra mile and raise even more to help fund life-saving BHF
research.
Awards will be given for the individual rider and team/family who collect
the greatest amount of sponsor money and there will be a draw for a Mountain
Bike supplied by Emsworth Car and Cycle Ltd.
