18 May 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.
