100
Manchester Miles For Christie's
Christie's is looking for people to join them
in the Manchester 100 - an annual event which challenges cyclists to
complete either 100 miles or 100 kilometres in the name of charity.
Taking
place on Sunday September 5th from Wythenshawe Park, the
Manchester 100 Mile will see cyclists riding through a wide sweep
of Cheshire including Delamere Forest and Nantwich.
And the Manchester
100 KM route shares the start in Wythenshawe before hitting Northwich and
Middlewich.
The ride is fully marshalled with regular stops, first aid,
mechanics and pick-up vehicles. Entrants can also choose their own time
band
so they can complete the ride at their own pace.
Christie Special
Projects Officer, Dawn Rodgers, says: "Our
first cycling event of the year, the Manchester to Blackpool Bike
Ride in July, proved to be a massive success and we're hoping for
a repeat performance with the Manchester 100.
" The Manchester
100 is a real challenge for keen cyclists and we hope to enlist as
many people as possible to help raise money
for cancer research and treatment at The Christie."
Entrance to the Manchester 100 costs £12.50 for the 100 mile
race and £10.50 for the 100 KM race. Each individual or team
raising money for Christie's will be awarded with
a certificate on completion of the ride and a medal on receipt of
sponsor monies over £25.00.
