Richardson's Tour de Broads
The Richardson's Tour de Broads is the region's biggest locally organised cycling event and for 2016 is back bigger and better than ever before. Now in its 4th year the event will be a day to remember with a bigger venue, better facilities, improved routes and a completely revised and simplified entry process. An all-day festival on site with trade stands, food and drink, live entertainment, club challenges and family fun activities will make the day special for cyclists and their families. The event, which is run on a strict "not-for-profit" basis to promote cycling and the new Broads National Park, has grown each year and event organisers, local bike shop Pedal Revolution, are proud that the event attracts riders of all abilities, ages and levels of experience.
The Richardson's Tour de Broads generates funding for local cycling projects like the Great Yarmouth Bike Project which works with the local community by offering skills, training and free bikes to participants to enable them to get physically active, ride safer and more confidently and improve their employment chances. The main cycling project to benefit this year will be Pedal Park (the regions only traffic-free cycling venue) which will launch in Spring 2017 and offer traffic-free recreational riding, coaching and racing weekly throughout the year and will host the 2016 Richardson's Tour de Broads. Local and National Charities also benefit from the event with over £40,000 raise in 2015.
Rides range from just 3 to 100 miles, perfect for those wanting a challenge to build up to. The longer routes will introduce riders to 16 Broads, 4 rivers and countless beautiful Broads National Park villages. Pedal Revolution are working with local parish councils and communities to help them showcase their villages and inspire riders to stop for a while or return another day with the family to explore what they have seen.
You can enter the Tour de Broads online at tourdebroads.com or by visiting any Pedal Revolution store. It is cheaper to buy in-store and you will take-away your rider pack. Online purchasers will have the rider pack delivered within 14 days of purchase.
Cycling is a great way to get active, feel great and achieve more in life. Unlike most sports, it is both family and socially inclusive and most rides involve tea, cake and banter. It is not surprising that cycling has become the UK's fastest growing participation sport as more and more of us enjoy the amazing benefits of an active lifestyle, save money of travel and enjoy our beautiful corner of the country...by bike.
