Evesham Virtual Cyclefest 2020
Due to covid-19, we had to take the decision to cancel the planned 7th Evesham Cyclefest that was due to take place on July 19th 2020. We still want to support our chosen charities and of course get more bums on bikes so as an incentive to enjoy riding your bikes on the beautiful roads around the Vale of Evesham we are offering a virtual event.
Ride as many of the routes as you like before the end of September and submit your results. Entries cost £10 which includes a medal.
