Great Racing Welfare Cycle Challenge Set For July 20-21

[Wandering Eyes]

The Great Racing Welfare Cycle will take place in Newmarket and its environs from noon on Saturday, July 20 until noon the following day, charity Racing Welfare announced on Thursday.

The Rowley Mile Racecourse will be the base for participating teams consisting of four to eight persons, who will continuously cycle over a 24-hour period completing laps of a planned 32km route around the town and surrounding villages. Afterward, there will be a BBQ and a celebration for all cyclists and their families.

Earlier this week, a quiz was held by the Baker McVeigh cycling team at The Yard pub in Newmarket on Tuesday, July 16, which raised £1,362.80 towards their fundraising total. Juddmonte's Jake Woolf will also field a team, and has arranged a ticket drawing for six people to meet Frankel (GB) at Juddmonte's Banstead Manor Stud. For every £50 donated to his team's JustGiving page, Woolf will offer a ticket. There are 50 tickets available.
