We’re excited to bring back our 100-mile cycle route all the way around the glorious countryside of Leicestershire. Take in the stunning views, the local landmarks and sample delicious local produce along the way. A true celebration of Leicestershire! See the very best of what our stunning county has to offer, taste some of the best local delicacies and enjoy a beautiful day out in the countryside.
Starting and finishing at the prestigious Café Ventoux in Tugby, you can expect the same level of support and camaraderie that you have come to know from LOROS’ annual bike ride. You will have our support every step (or pedal) of the way!
Whether you are a solo rider looking to add some extra miles to your training log or a beginner cyclist, our event has everything you are looking for. Whether you are super speedy or prefer to enjoy a leisurely ride taking in the hidden gems our gorgeous county has to offer; you will have the chance to stop and rest and meet with friends and family supporting along the route.
What do you need to know?
Entering the ride is FREE; all we ask in return is that you pledge to raise £100 per person for LOROS Hospice. So please do encourage family, friends and your wider audience to sponsor you in aid of LOROS. This is a completely not for profit event, where every penny goes towards caring for the patients in our care and supporting their families
The ride starts at 6.30am, from the famous Café Ventoux, Tugby, LE7 9WE. Arrival from 5.30am, with tea, coffee, toilets, bike racking all available at the start
Riders will be staggered off the start line between 6.30am-6.45am
The route will be a rolling, undulating ride approximately 100 miles in length. Those who have taken part in our previous Leicester to Skegness Ride, should be aware that it is likely to be significantly hillier, with approximately 4,500ft / 1300m of elevation. The route is in the process of being finalised and will be shared in due course, alongside details of rest stops
Helmets are compulsory for all riders, and we highly recommend using a road bike for the event. If you are unsure if your bike is suitable, please contact us at fundraising@loros.co.uk
