HUNDREDS of cyclists will take to the lanes around Petersfield this weekend in a fundraising tour de force.
Cyclists of all ages and abilities will get on their bikes this Sunday to compete in the Petersfield Ups and Downs (PUAD) ride.
Funds from this year’s event will be split between Saving Lives Together and FitzRoy while there’s five routes for entrants to choose from, from a five-mile family route to a gruelling 50-mile trek. There’s also 20 and 30-mile options or a 20-mile off-road challenge with every route starting and finishing in The Square.
“We want to keep it local and accessible for everyone so we’ve not changed the rides,” said Tom North, PUAD chairman.
“But we have done a bit of smartening up so we’ve redesigned the medals and everyone will get a funky sports bottle.”
The first cyclists will set off around 9am while people can enter on the day – visit www.puad.co.uk for more details.
