First prize is a Scott Sportster 60 Hybrid Sports bike provided by Wight Mountain.
Tickets are available on the day and from Earl Mountbatten Hospice shops and The Three Bishops Brighstone.
The mountain bike will be given away by the IOW High Sheriff Suzie Sheldon at 3 o'clock.
Wightlink Ferries are very kindly offering all participants in Cycle the Wight 50% off of their Ferry Crossing as part of their support of The Mountbatten Nursing Service Bike Weekevents. Please see here for full details: Wightlink Ferries Offer.
All riders will receive a medal when they complete the route and trophies will be awarded for the most sponsorship raised and for the best fancy dress, which is optional.
This year there will be 3 routes to choose from through some of the Isle of Wight’s most beautiful countryside. The road or cross country route both provide a challenge for riders. There is also a shorter route for children and the less energetic. Refreshments will be provided half way round the route.
There are lots of other ways you could help to make the day a success. Sponsorship would be welcomed and volunteers will be needed to help with the organisation on the day. Please get in touch if you can help in any way by emailing cyclethewight@hotmail.co.uk.
Please keep checking back to this website as new information and details about the event will be posted regularly.
