I have felt like I could give a little more back to my community in the past months. It never really crossed my mind that I could do something for the community and enjoy myself, do a bit of exercise and have a good time. I found a Bike Ride, that i didn’t know about, but I had heard more about recently, it had been running for years.

I found out that it had been growing in popularity and is quickly becoming a major event every year. The bike ride is run by the Lions club and the Round Table with many supporters including a local radio station called Bright FM on 106.4. The bike ride had been getting a lot of publicity over the past few months and last year over 750 cyclists took part.

This bike ride raises money for the St Peter and St James Hospice that take care of terminally ill patients. They provide them with the care and support they require in their time of need. Even more surprising was that when I searched deeper into this Bike Ride I found that people all over England were attending it.

So I have signed myself up and look forward to taking part in the 40 mile route. You don’t have to do the long 40 miles either, there is a 20 and a 10, so you can take your kids as long as an adult rides with them. Come along to the burgess hill Bike ride, do your part for a charity and get your legs working too. I look forward to going on this cycle event and look forward to joining 100’s of more cyclists. So you can stay fit and do your bit for a charity that can do with the support of as many cyclists as possible.

And I hope to see you there too!!
