Vélo Belvoir is a new charity cycle ride taking place on Sunday 8th May 2022. The ride starts and finishes in Hose (on the Nottinghamshire-Leicestershire border) and offers a choice of two routes – 28 or 76 miles. Both routes take you on quiet roads through pretty villages and the very scenic Vale of Belvoir. There will be refreshments (with plenty of cake) half way round the longer ride.
Vélo Belvoir is raising much needed funds for two local registered charities. The profits will be split between Dove Cottage Day Hospice and Cropwell Bishop Friends of School. Dove Cottage Day Hospice provides valuable specialist support for the terminally ill and their families. Cropwell Bishop Friends of School raises funds to enhance learning opportunities at the school for the children.
Vélo Belvoir is grateful for the sponsorship of local companies to get it off the ground, notably Windmill Wheels, Belvoir Seeds, Keith Willis Accounts and Melton Sports. We are delighted to welcome Bishop Cycles to the event to provide mechanical assistance at the start. Bishop Cycles is offering a 15% discount of all bike servicing prior to the ride for everyone who has entered.
Vélo Belvoir will be an annual event. Registration is now open for May 2022 and all cyclists are welcome. A great day and a memorable ride is guaranteed for all. For more information and to sign up, please visit www.velobelvoir.com.
