CYCLING fans in Evesham are in for a treat this Christmas as a load of festive fun events roll into the town.
Evesham VeloPark is playing host to a series of events this festive season to keep adults and children who like riding their bikes thoroughly entertained.
First up is the Cycle with Santa Bike Ride from 1pm to 4pm on Sunday, December 8 hosted by PAL Fitness Education.
There will be more than 30 adapted bikes for those of all ages and abilities to try out on Evesham’s world class cycling facility, or people can bring and decorate their own in a Christmas theme.
There will also be a Santa Bike Race for adults and the opportunity to meet Father Christmas, thanks to Evesham Round Table.
The Christmas cycling spirit doesn’t stop there as on Monday, December 23 from 10am to 2pm all tracks at Evesham VeloPark will be free to use.
There is no need to book, people can just bring their bike and a helmet and turn up. Christmas jumpers are encouraged and there will be a prize for the best one.
Councillor Rob Adams, Wychavon’s executive board member for strong communities, culture and sport, said: “Come and enjoy the magic of Christmas on two wheels this festive season and spread some good cheer at the same time by raising money for a worthy cause.”
A suggested donation of £5 per rider and £15 for a family of four is requested to fund new equipment and maintenance of PAL’s specially adapted bikes so people with a range of disabilities can enjoy cycling.
