Last year:
- 130 entries, over 12000km ridden over
quiet country lanes, some of the best
scenery in SE Leics, N Northants and
Rutland. 50k attracted many first-time
eventers, the 160k provided a challenge
for more experienced cyclists – all felt a
real sense of achievement.
- Weight loss: 12000k @ 12kph =
1000hrs = 60000mins @ 12cals/min =
720000cals = 200lb of body fat lost!
- £500 raised for the British Heart
Foundation and to support cycling
activities for young people in the area.
- Local riders and riders from as far a
field as Kent and Cheshire commented on
the beauty of the area and the steepness
of the hills!
Welland Valley Cycle Club is thriving,
providing a wide range of cycling activities
for over 120 members. Guests and new members

Organised: under the auspices of Welland
