It’s a big THANK YOU to all those who took part in our first three Bikeathons & raised over £30,000 to help fund lifesaving leukaemia research.
We hope you will join us for our 4th Bikeathon and help us do even better this year.
There will be a choice of 3 signposted circular routes of around 10, 17 or 28 miles along quiet country lanes, passing through picturesque country villages passing local country pubs.
All riders will receive a FREE Leukaemia Research T-shirt and a medal & certificate of achievement on the day.
After your ride why not join us for a picnic and enjoy something from the Lions Bar-B-Que.
You must enter in advance via www.lrf.org.uk.
Please help us publicise this great event. Download a poster & display it for us, or send it to anyone you think may be interested.
Download the route map now. A sponsorship form and more details will be posted to you. All we ask you to do is raise sponsorship for this very worthy cause.
We are indebted to John Shepherd Curry & Partners Residential Lettings for helping to cover the costs of staging this event, Dawes for providing a new cycle to be raffled on the day, our marshals (the Ahmadiyya Muslim Association Youth) and National Trust for their help.

Packwood House
Packwood House is a 16th Century house about 7 miles North-West of Warwick. Packwood House is 2 miles from Baddesley Clinton Manor House. Both houses are owned by the National Trust, and you can buy a combined ticket for entry to both houses. Packwood House was home of the Featherstone family from 1598 to 1869. It was bought by Mr Alfred Ash, and subsequently given to The National Trust in 1941, by his son, Graham Baron Ash.
Leukaemia Research
Leukaemia Research was established in 1960 and is still the only national research charity devoted exclusively to leukaemia, the lymphomas, myeloma, aplastic anaemia, myelodysplasia, the myeloproliferative disorders and the related blood disorders in both children and adults.
Our ride is just one of the Bikeathons Around Britain raising hundreds of thousands of pounds for Leukaemia Research every year.
