BURGESS HILL BIKE RIDE
Sunday 9 June 2002
In aid of Chailey Heritage School
and other local charities
Sponsored by Schering Health Care and the Burgess
Hill Festival Association
A brand new T Shirt design free to all advanced
bookers!
The tenth Burgess Hill Bike Ride takes place on Sunday
9 June, starting and finishing at the Sussex Enterprise CarPark. Entrants can take either the
20-mile or the 40-mile route through the lovely countryside around our town,
from Wineham in the west, south along the foot of the downs from Fulking and out
to woodland east to Chailey.
The Burgess Hill Bike Ride is jointly organised by the
local members of the Round Table and the Lions. Sponsorship money from the event
will be used to support the charity, Chailey Heritage School and other local charities.
Advanced booking costs £6 for adults and £3 for children, aged 12 - 17 who must be accompanied by an adult. For safety reasons we cannot allow children under 12 to participate. Burgess Hill Round Table and Lions rely on entrants to collect sponsorship money for their charity work. For every £50 sponsorship you raise, your name will be entered in our prize draw to win a mountain bike.
(before booking please read the conditions of entry detailed below)
Registration on the day costs £6 but excludes an event T shirt: these may be on sale on the day.
