Bike Blenheim Palace 2012

Bike Blenheim Palace sportive

Words: Matt Lamy
From the Queen’s Jubilee to the Olympic Games, this summer won’t be short of patriotic opportunities, but we guarantee you won’t find a more wonderfully British day out on your bike than at Bike Blenheim Palace 2012.
For the first time ever the event will be running over two days with a 20km time trial, a new 40km off-road sportive and a Bike Polo tournament on the Saturday, while the Sunday brings the 60 or 100-mile Cycling Weekly-sponsored sportive, the famous Brompton World Championships, and the more leisurely 26.2-mile Breast Cancer Care ‘Pink Ribbonride’.
On both days there will be safe, car-free, family-friendly cycle routes through the Palace’s grounds, cycle skill courses for children, and a huge range of exhibitors and entertainment from bike businesses in the Event Village.
Bike Blenheim Palace runs from August 18-19. For the full range of entry prices and to register for any of the rides please visit the Bike Blenheim Palace website.

Nigel Wynn worked as associate editor on CyclingWeekly.com, he worked almost single-handedly on the Cycling Weekly website in its early days. His passion for cycling, his writing and his creativity, as well as his hard work and dedication, were the original driving force behind the website’s success. Without him, CyclingWeekly.com would certainly not exist on the size and scale that it enjoys today. Nigel sadly passed away, following a brave battle with a cancer-related illness, in 2018. He was a highly valued colleague, and more importantly, an exceptional person to work with - his presence is sorely missed.
