What's On: Breast Cancer Care's Bike Blenheim Palace
3 October 2010
On Sunday 3rd October the grounds of Britain's Greatest Palace open once again for the annual cycling festival - Bike Blenheim Palace. Attracting over 7,000 people in 2009 this unique event has established itself as one of the most exciting cycling events in the country. In 2010 Bike Blenheim Palace is delighted to have partnered with Breast Cancer Care as official charity and title sponsor, so participants can now enjoy the opportunity to cycle in the World Heritage Site Park and help raise money for people living with breast cancer.
Breast Cancer Care's Bike Blenheim Palace begins with a competitive focus with a 20km Time Trial, organised by Cycling Time Trials, followed by the famous Brompton World Championship 2010. This year the popular 60 or 100 mile Sportive in association with Cycling Weekly will take place again taking in the sights of Blenheim Palace's World Heritage Site Park and the Oxfordshire Cotswold. The day then becomes family oriented as cycling routes of varying lengths are opened to the general public. The event promises to be a great day for competitiors and families with a fantastic event village and live demonstrations in the exhibition arena.
This unique event has something for everyone from the competitive cycling fanatic to families looking for somewhere safe to ride their bikes in beautiful surroundings. Take part in one of the races or come along to watch as cycling enthusiasts, young and old, and families take to the oak-lined roads of Blenheim Park.
