CYCLISTS are getting on their bike to raise money for Prospect in their Big Bike Ride.

The event takes place on Sunday, July 17, and sees cyclists setting off from F1 Karting, Wroughton Airfield.

It consists of two rides, a 15km route around Hackpen Hill for beginners and families, and a 50km route around the Marlborough Downs for the more experienced cyclist.

The 50km route takes cyclists past Barbury Castle and through the Ogbournes to Marlborough, before circling back to Wroughton via Mildenhall and the old Marlborough and Chiseldon Railway Path.

If you’re interested in taking part in Prospect Hospice’s Big Bike Ride, contact Becky Gammon in the fundraising team on 01793 816161 or email fundraising&events@prospect-hospice.net.
