Pendle Pedal, sponsored by Eric Wright
Construction – Sunday 3rd August 2008
Challenging
Sportive ride around the beautiful Pendle, Ribble Valley,
Lune Valley and Bowland countryside that earned rave reviews
last year. It includes many of the climbs tackled by pro riders
on the Tour of Britain, Kellogg's Tour and Tour of Lancashire
races. You'll have to be fit to tackle the main ride - at
160km with over 3200m of climbing, it's not a gentle pedal!
There
is therefore a shorter 100km option so whatever your type
of riding and fitness there's something for you.
All routes are fully
marshalled and signed, with back-up support services.

Wright, Managing Director of Eric Wright Construction, said:
"We are delighted to be sponsoring the Pendle Pedal.
As a keen cyclist myself, I am well aware of the enjoyment
and benefits of cycling. I would encourage as many people
in Pendle and the surrounding areas to have a go in the Pendle
Pedal, even raise some money for their favourite charity.
I wish the whole Fest every success."
