Competitors have a choice of completing the whole four day ride or just one of the four, one day, stage rides. All accommodation, facilities, food and support are provided within the entrance fee. The LGBBR Team aim to take care of everything so that Riders can just concentrate on the event and enjoy the challenge.
The four ‘night stops' will be hosted by local rugby clubs and a tented village will be ready and waiting at the end of each day, with hot food, drinks and the hospitality only rugby clubs can offer. This exciting new event is designed for all participants to have fun; meet new friends and get a real sense of achievement by completing the first Lexus Great British Bike Ride.
We are proud to announce that the benefiting Charities for 2010 will be ‘Help for Heroes', The Rugby Players Association Benevolent Fund and the RFU Injured Players Foundation. This year's ride, will be the first in a series of annual events which aim to raise £1.5 Million for charity over the next 5 years, with the inclusion of additional regions, additional sports and additional charities.
