Location: Dartmoor Zoo, Plymouth
Event: 9 October 2011

RUTrainingToday has teamed up with Dartmoor Zoo to bring a new HQ for the Coastal Cruise Sportive on Sunday 9 October 2011.

All riders will start off under the watchful eyes of the Meerkats before embarking on an 80 mile cycle ride taking on Dartmoor, Princetown and Slapton before arriving back at the zoo passing the Ostrich.

The sportive is a family friendly event, where family and friends can stay and play at the zoo for a 25% discount on entry price whilst waiting for the riders to return.

Set in 33 acres of beautiful woodland with some stunning views of the surrounding countryside, Dartmoor Zoological Park is a unique family owned zoo with a fantastic collection of animals.  One pound of everyone's entry fee will be donated straight to the zoo, along with another donation from RUTrainingToday.

Entry is available online or by post with more information in the British Cycling Event Calendar.
