Long Distance Events

Keswick to Barrow

This year it was on Saturday 10th May and info can be found at: www.keswick2barrow.co.uk

It is a team entry and is co-ordinated by Alan Grace (alangrace@btinternet.com). Alan lays on a minibus to ferry wheelchairs from the start to the finish and then handcyclists, their bikes and their chairs back to the start if required. We hope to have over 10 handcyclists take part this year.

The Cumberland Challenge

This is a 110 miler, starting at Brampton near Carlisle. However, the route is in a figure of 8, so it lends itself to doing just half that distance on a handbike. The 3rd Cumberland Challenge will take place on Sunday 31st August 2008 and an entry form will be available to download from 1st February 2008.  The website is: /www.thecumberlandchallenge.co.uk/index.htm  

Extra note from Al: Entries have now opened for this event.  Last year we had 5 handcyclists at the event and it would be great to see more there this year. Enter the event directly, but put handcyclist on your entry form. 

The Furness 50

This is actually about 52 miles and runs from Barrow in Furness, along the coast road and round Coniston and back. This takes place in early September (date to be confirmed) and info can be found nearer the time at: www.topmarkonline.com

The Fred Whitton Challenge

This year it was on Sunday 11th May and the website is: www.fredwhittonchallenge.org.uk.
Entries opened (and closed) , so it?s too late for this year.
