Embrace the Autumn Series bike ride challenge for a charitable cause

For the third year running, FORCE Cancer Charity are hosting the Autumn Series bike rides - The Autumn Storm and the Autumn Breeze.

The event will take place on Sunday 29 September and both routes will go from Clyst Vale Community College in Broadclyst.

Cyclists will be on staggered starts in small batches between 8am and 8:30am.

Fundraising Assistant at FORCE Cancer Charity, Kay Jeffery said: "Our Autumn rides are a truly great way to see how beautiful this part of Devon is.

"Despite the odd challenging incline you will always get a great vista over the rolling countryside, through the villages and further afield.

FORCE welcomes all cyclists whether this is your first riding event or your 21st – both rides offer a variety to all types of riders.

"There is still time to sign up – and an added bonus – the weather is looking like it will potentially be sunny for the day!"

The Autumn Breeze (30 miles) will take in the areas around Payhembury, Broadhembury, Kentisbeare, Clyst Hydon and Talaton.

The Autumn Storm (55 miles) incorporates the above with additional mileage covering Churchinford, Hemyock and Dunkeswell – with a few hills to accompany the amazing scenery.

Both routes will offer simple refreshments for the cyclists.
