Cycle Challenge
Be a friend and take part in our annual fund-raising coast-to-coast cycle challenge. This year (2018) saw our fourth CatZero Cycle Challenge take place and you can read a full report in the news/blogs section http://catzero.org/2018/07/10/from-the-pennines-back-to-hull/
So, what do we have in store for 2019…something a little bit different!
The Event
THIS will be our BIGGEST and BEST CatZero Cycle Challenge, (CCC), yet – come and join us!
To mark the 10th anniversary of CatZero, we have decided to change our annual coast-to-coast CCC – making it a little longer and a ‘true’ east to west, starting in Hornsea and finishing in Southport. These two towns mark the very furthest east and west respectively!
All-in-all it takes in 200-miles, with an impressive total climb of 5,580ft (1710m). But rest-assured there is a full support crew on hand, with all the help you will need – and leader Danny Watson assures cyclists that it is an enjoyable ride. There are stops every 10-12 miles with food and riders’ bags ready. The group always rides together with an emphasis on supporting each other.
The ride takes place over three days:
- Day One: Hornsea to Doncaster, 71 miles with a 880ft climb (270m). This is the longest distance with the least climb and the greatest proportion of tarmac.
- Day Two: Doncaster to Didsbury: 65 miles and a 3400 ft climb (1040m). This is the most challenging but beautiful day crossing the Pennines via Woodhead pass. The route to Penistone is mostly on river/canal paths and old railway lines connected with shorter road or trail sections some with steep climbs.
- Day Three: Didsbury to Southport: 63 miles with a 1300 ft climb (400m). Leaving Didsbury, the route joins the Mersey for the first time. As well as old railway and canal sections the route follows the Mersey and Manchester ship canal at times. Then it’s back to Hull via the transport for a celebrity hog roast.
The challenge takes place from September 13th to September 15th next year with riders asked to contribute £50 per day to cover the CatZero Support Team, which will be on hand to support you along the way!
The package also includes transportation of you and your cycle back to Hull, training activities leading up to the event, accommodation for two nights, packed lunch/drinks whilst cycling and a CatZero Cycle Challenge t-shirt.
Your challenge is to endeavour to raise £500 sponsorship for CatZero – Can you do it? For more details and your application form, please contact suzanne@catzero.org or 01482 333303.
