Fortinet 2024 Cycling Challenge

From 11-13 October 20 cyclists will be riding for 3 consecutive days from Reading to Burford, Burford to Devizes, and Devizes back to Reading to raise money for Sands.

The majority will be tackling 100 miles per day, with 50 and 75 mile options for the less experienced riders. Whilst traversing some beautiful countryside, the team will have to negotiate some tough climbs, avoid numerous pot holes and no doubt endure some changeable weather along the way - it will be tough!
