Doncaster St John’s Hospice Appeal Sportive – Sunday 13 July 2014

The Doncaster St John’s Hospice Appeal Sportive is one of the events that make up the Get Doncaster Cycling programme of events for 2014, which also include the Doncaster Festival of Cycling and Tickhill Velo Grand Prix, to coincide with Le Grand Depart of the 2014 Tour de France in Yorkshire. For more information on the Doncaster Festival of Cycling, go to www.doncastercyclingfest.com and for the Tickhill Velo Grand Prix go to www.t-fest.co.uk/cycle-race

The Doncaster St John’s Hospice Appeal Sportive is a new event for the sportive calendar, aimed at keen cyclists and leisure cyclists looking for a challenge. The event is offered by an experienced sportive provider whose previous events have been featured in national cycling journals and commended on their quality. All takings will go towards the St John’s Hospice Appeal, to help fund the redevelopment of the hospice facilities in Doncaster.

The event offers two routes of 65 miles (100 km) and 100 miles (160 km), both starting at Woodfield Park, Tickhill Road, Doncaster. Both routes take riders through the cycling heartland of the rolling South Yorkshire countryside around Doncaster, predominantly on minor roads.   

The Hospice appeal is aiming to raise £0.5m towards the hospice redevelopment costs of £1.8m and we plan to exceed £10,000 as our fund raising target for this event. If you have any questions about the event please e-mail the event organiser at ian.jerams@rdash.nhs.uk or phone 01302 794094 (day time).
