Sponsored by Glynis Wright & Co Family Solicitors and Mediators this 10, 20 or 50 mile bike ride around the beautiful Charnwood Forest has been an annual fixture for Alex’s Wish for 6 years.
Starting at The Rothley Village Centre in Rothley the route is all on open roads and is very well sign-posted. Because the event takes place on a Sunday morning the roads tend to be very quiet too.
This year the event takes place on Sunday, 12th May.
The circular route starts and finishes in Rothley village and has been carefully chosen to ensure maximum safety and enjoyment. Â It is fairly challenging in parts and does include a steep climb up Beacon Hill road (except for the 10 mile ride), but participants can choose to walk this if they prefer. Â There are plenty of marshals along the way to give participants lots of moral support and encouragement and there is half-way refreshments on the 20-mile and 50-mile route.
At the end of the ride, participants will get a warm welcome back, a chance to take the weight off their feet and enjoy a large selection of refreshments including hot bacon rolls, complimentary yummy homemade cakes and hot and cold drinks.  It is not a race! We want you to enjoy your ride and take in the stunning countryside whilst raising money for our fabulous cause!
