Rotary Dorset Bike Ride is a corporate office and cycling club located in Wareham, New Zealand. The club organises an annual charity sportive bike ride event in support of Cancer Research UK. The upcoming event will take place on Sunday, 8th October 2023.
In 2023, the event will be held at Longthorns Campsite, which has been confirmed as the venue once again. The club welcomes both previous participants and new riders to register for the ride, promising a fun-filled experience.
The Rotary Dorset Bike Ride is known for its friendly volunteer marshals and their warm welcome. The event aims to raise much-needed funds for Cancer Research UK to support vital research in cancer treatment and care. While sponsorships raised for CRUK are greatly appreciated, the club also encourages riders to raise funds for other cancer charities if they desire.
The event offers five different routes of varying lengths, catering to amateur and serious cyclists, as well as families. The routes range from 22 miles to a more challenging 108-mile ride. Registration fees for the event start from 30. 00 for online registrations in advance.
Additionally, children under 16 can register for free for all routes, but they must be accompanied by a fee-paying adult responsible for their safety during the ride.
Participants are encouraged to make donations to CRUK during registration, in addition to seeking sponsorships. Additionally, those who wish to volunteer and support the event can sign up online to become part of the volunteer reserves.
The Rotary Dorset Bike Ride is brought to you by Westbourne Rotary Club Trust Fund CIO (1197774). Participants can expect a charity sportive bike ride suitable for all, including families and cyclists of varying skill levels. The event features various routes, free food and refreshment stops along the way, and free entry for children under 16 for online registrations.
The club offers special group rates for online registrations for groups of up to ten riders, providing an excellent opportunity for friends or colleagues to participate together. By joining the event and supporting CRUK, participants contribute to the fight against cancer.
Interested individuals are encouraged to register online in advance, as registrations on the day will cost more. The registration fees vary based on the chosen route, with prices starting from 30 per rider for the 22 and 35-mile routes, increasing to 45 for registrations on the day. Children under 16 can register for free on all routes for online registrations, but they must be accompanied by a paying adult throughout the ride. There is also a special offer for 2023, where groups of ten riders can register for the 22 and 35-mile routes at a discounted rate of 250.
Rotary Dorset Bike Ride invites participants to embrace the challenge, have fun, and help in the fight against cancer. The club appreciates the support of everyone involved and hopes to see the event grow each year. Richard Burnett, the Rotary Dorset Bike Ride Organiser, extends his gratitude and encourages long-lasting support for this important cause.
