The Bruntwood Ellipse Charity Cycle Ride is now in its third year and following the huge success of last year’s event we’re inviting you to get on your bikes once again on Sunday 18th September 2011 and join us for the choice of three cycle challenges, in aid of our new charities Onside and the Factory.
The Bruntwood Ellipse is all about keeping healthy, having fun and is your chance to make a difference. The event will appeal to all levels of cycling enthusiasts whether you relish the challenge of a 55 mile cycle ride through the stunning scenery of the Peal District or prefer the ‘Mini Ellipse’, a leisurely 22 mile cycle through the leafy lanes of Cheshire or alternatively the 10 mile family ride through beautiful Knutsford, it’s a great day out for all the family to enjoy, all events start and finish at Booths Hall in Knutsford.
The Routes:
The 55 mile Ellipse is a challenging route that heads into the Peak District, taking in many of the classic climbs this spectacular national park has to offer. Its been designed to appeal to the more serious cyclist.
The Mini Ellipse features a circular route through the leafy lanes of Cheshire. At 22 miles, we aim to appeal to those recreational cyclists and those who are new to cycling
The Family Ellipse is again a circular route through beautiful Knutsford and has been specifically designed for families.
On the routes water/food stations will be provided and a Red Cross team will also provide medical support on the day.
The event is being fully funded by Bruntwood; all the event organisers and marshals will be giving up their time for free leading up to the event and on the day itself. So every penny raised will go directly to our two new charities Onside and The Factory. These are fantastice charities that have been set up to build world-class, state-of-the-art centres called Youth Zones, that provide a place for young people to go and try out new experiences and provide them with positive role models.

Ellipse (55 miles): £20.00*
