Mike Grisenthwaite, the charityГўв‚¬в„ўs founder and a Cancer Exercise Specialist, says: вЂњWeГўв‚¬в„ўre delighted to be involved with the Red Kite Ride this year. This year the Red Kite Ride will be supporting a cycling related charity called CYCLISTS FIGHTING CANCER, who give bikes, adapted tricycles and equipment to children and young people across the UK whose lives have been affected by cancer. The event last year raised Г‚ВЈ8,000 for three local charities. Г‚в‚¬Е“Cycling For AllГўв‚¬Вќ is the philosophy and core motivation of the Marlow Riders, a fast growing club, still only four years old.

Organisers are again promising three well sign-posted routes, with three feed stations, electronic timing, ample parking at the start, showers at the finish and GPX routes to download before the event. Marlow is a popular tourist destination and has good access from both the M4 and M40 motorways. The Red Kite Ride will start and finish at the Marlow Sports Club on the banks of the River Thames. It was a feature that proved a popular talking point at last yearГўв‚¬в„ўs event. There will again be a choice of 50, 80 or 100 mile routes through Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and Berkshire with the longer routes passing through the Vale of Aylesbury over some of the highest parts of the Chilterns and then back into the Thames Valley.Д¬ourse Director and former Olympic bronze medallist Willi Moore has again designed routes that provide a few testing climbs, a healthy mix of stunning local scenery and some faster flatter sections over the longer routes.ДЄll three routes pass iconic landmarks such as Christmas Common and Watlington Hill and the 100 mile route climbs up to Brill Windmill, where the views of the Oxfordshire scenery are stunning.ДЄll three routes are again likely to pass through a 40ft long ford Гўв‚¬вЂњ the river Loddon вЂ“ in the village of Twyford, Berkshire. The Гўв‚¬Е“Red Kite RideГўв‚¬Вќ is named as such due to the proliferation of red kites that can be seen along the route which takes riders over the rolling Chiltern hills and through the Thames Valley. We are also working hard to develop the attractions at the after event Гўв‚¬ЛњtheatreГўв‚¬в„ў as an additional incentive for participants to bring along their families.Гўв‚¬Вќ Г‚в‚¬Е“WeГўв‚¬в„ўd like to attract more families to come to our area for a short break or weekend and ride the Red Kite Ride.

So donГўв‚¬в„ўt delay in entering or risk disappointment. Гўв‚¬Е“ Numbers will again be restricted to 600. Г‚в‚¬Е“We want to create a somewhat unique, quality event which will include the popular after-ride Гўв‚¬ЛњtheatreГўв‚¬в„ў, which this year should be enhanced even furtherГўв‚¬Вќ says Event Director Steve Tolmie. The entry fee will remain at Г‚ВЈ25 but organisers, Marlow Riders, are keen to enhance their reputation for putting on a prime cycling event by improving on some of the aspects from last year.
