FRINGE ARTS in association with V.C. Sevale cycling club present... Sir Edward Elgar's Bicycle Challenge How Fast Can You Cycle Up Church St? Sun 12th June 2011 Venue: Church St, Great Malvern Malvern Fringe will be holding the Sir Edward Elgar Uphill Bicycle Challenge on Sunday 12th June. This year they are also inviting people to run up Church Street if they wish, an opportunity not usually afforded to the sporty pedestrian in Great Malvern . The road will be closed from 9am until about 4pm and the racing will be spread out from around 10am until 3.30pm depending on how many competitors turn up and importantly how many times they feel they can drag their bikes up the road. Last year several riders had 5 or 6 attempts at beating the current 17 seconds record set 2 years ago by a rider from Tenbury Wells. The event is open to all abilities so dust off the old shopping bike and get training. Riders from local clubs will be battling it out as usual providing an impressive display of hill climbing, but the history of the event has thrown up some great rides from local bmx riders just giving it a go. Local club V.C. Sevale will provide time keeping and advice, St Johns Ambulance will be on hand to resuscitate any fallers. If anyone would like to volunteer to help marshal the event they would be most welcome. Contact: Steve Price on 01684 568252 or email stevemel63@yahoo.co.uk In 2008, Jason Griffiths from Tenbury, won with a time of 17 seconds. Trials Registration from 10.30am Trials take place between 11 & 3pm followed by prize-giving. Under-10 / 10 - 12 / 13 - 16 / 17 - 39 / 40 - 59 /60+ Entry (unlimited rides): £1 adults, 50p Under16 Local cycle club V.C.Sevale will be on hand to give advice & information about events including ‘come and try it’, for people wanting to get a taste of racing without having to join a club. . |
