----- About the race: -------

Pitchero is proud to sponsor the Lexus Great British Bike Ride, a cyclo sportive event which aims to raise £1.5m for charity over the next five years, supporting 'Help for Heroes', the RFU Injured Players Foundation and the RPA (Rugby Players Association) Benevolent Fund.

The ride from Lands End to London will follow scenic routes through the West Country, and all participants will enjoy traditional rugby hospitality & entertainment for the overnight stops at Tavistock, Yeovil & Winchester Rugby Club.

The finish will be a grand reception at Twickenham Stadium to coincide with the London 'Double Header' involving Harlequins, London Irish, Saracens & London Wasps. Two hundred competitors will ride the 4 day event with up to 100 'stage' riders participating on a daily basis.

Rugby Club team entries and individuals are encouraged to participate and support the highly deserving charities. The Ride Ambassador is Richard Hill MBE and he hopes to persuade a few other celebrities to ride at least a daily stage.

The ride takes place between 1st and 4th of September 2010.

The 4 day inclusive entry fee is £399, with a minimum sponsorship of £300.

Daily stage rides cost £39 with sponsorship at £150. The last stage is £92 and includes a meal and ticket for the Twickenham matches. For full details, entry forms and opportunities for volunteers, see:
