Helen Rollason Cancer Charity cycle ride is back

Ride for Helen, an event for all ages and abilities has routes at six, 15, 30 and 65 miles, each starting and finishing in Hatfield Peverel on May 16.

Riders taking part in the 65 mile route will cycle through Felsted, Thaxted, Steeple Bumpstead and Finchingfield.

Almost 600 cyclists took part in Ride for Helen 2020, raising about £35,000.

There is also a virtual race, which participants can complete in their own space and time, and every finisher will receive a medal.

Kate Alden, CEO at the Helen Rollason Cancer Charity said: "We know many people took up cycling during lockdown so this is a great opportunity to get outside on two wheels again and support Helen Rollason Cancer Charity."
