REGISTRATION FOR THE 2024 FOULNESS BIKE RIDE IS OPEN - SPONSORED BY PRIMO INSURANCE.The Foulness Bike Ride is an annual south Essex event where you can cycle around the MoD owned Foulness Island which is not usually accessible to the public. It's a brilliant opportunity to raise money for your favourite charity, spend time with friends and family, and a rare chance to visit the island.
Get ready for a great day of cycling around Foulness Island!
The ride starts at Cupids Country Club in Wakering (SS3 0AX, 1.6 miles from Shoeburyness train station), and there will be car parking close by.
You can ride between 11 and 23 miles - most riders aim to do 3 loops of Foulness Island (it's a 4 mile loop) making a total of 23 miles, but it is the rider's choice.
You'll have the chance to stop and take in the scenery at the Heritage Centre on the island and purchase refreshments.
Online registration is open up to 6pm on Saturday 20th July. Adults and children are invited to take part - under 16s will need to be registered with an adult. Fees: Adult £25, Child £15, Family £65 (2 Adults + 2 Children). Choose your start time between 9.30am – Midday.
You don't need a special bike to take part, though there is a section of gravel road so you should have tyres to cope with this. For your safety, all riders must wear a helmet - you will need to bring your own. No helmet - no ride!
Charity:
Riders usually choose to raise money through sponsorship for a charity of their choice.
This event is organised by Rotary Club, and our chosen charity is 'The Spotlight Radiotherapy Appeal' at Southend Hospital, so if you are not sure who you'd like to raise money for, this is our recommendation. https://spotlightappeal.org/
Fundraising is not compulsory, and any donation to Rotary is always appreciated.
