CYCLISTS are being called to take on The Myton Hospices’ annual cycle challenge.
Starting and finishing at Warwick Myton Hospice on Sunday August 2, the event offers participants the opportunity to enjoy some of Warwickshire and the Cotswolds’ most scenic roads while raising vital funds to support people living with life-limiting illnesses across Coventry and Warwickshire.
There are three routes to choose from – 50km, 100km or 100 miles.
For those taking on the 100-mile route, the much-loved Saintbury Hill Challenge returns once again. This iconic timed climb will test riders both mentally and physically, with the fastest man and woman crowned Myton Champions and presented with a bespoke winners’ jersey.
After crossing the finish line, participants can celebrate their achievement back at Warwick Myton Hospice, where food, drinks and entertainment will be available throughout the afternoon.
This year’s event aims to raise £70,000, which could fund the running costs of Warwick Myton Hospice Inpatient Unit for two weeks. As the only hospice in Coventry and Warwickshire that provides specialist palliative and end of life care, and the only one in the area with inpatient beds, every rider will help ensure The Myton Hospices can continue supporting patients and their loved ones when it matters most.
Myton spokesperson Natalie Walker said: “Whether you’re looking to challenge yourself, ride with friends or simply enjoy a fantastic day, our cycle challenge is a brilliant way to make a real difference. Every rider who signs up helps us continue providing specialist care for patients and their families across Coventry and Warwickshire. We’d love to see as many people as possible join us on the start line this August.”
