On Saturday 19 June 2010 up to 300 cyclists will embark on an exciting 100km moonlit ride through London. This 'Open Challenge' will enable World Jewish Relief supporters to raise vital sponsorship funds for WJR's key programmes.
Cyclists will set off in groups from 23.00 - 00.00 and follow a circular itinerary past over fifty of London's most famous landmarks including: Tower Bridge, a deserted City of London, Canary Wharf, Hampstead Heath, London Zoo, Piccadilly Circus, British Museum, London Eye, Houses of Parliament, Trafalgar Square, Buckingham Palace, Albert Hall and Battersea Power Station. The ride starts and finishes at Crystal Palace.
Shabbat finishes just before 22.30 on this day, so participants will be able to get to the start in time. The tour operator, Classic Tours will be arranging staggered start times, and we will ensure anyone who needs a later start time will be allocated a slot which suits them.
This unique challenge been conceived and developed by leading charity tour operator Classic Tours. The route is entirely on roads for ease of access and quality of lighting. It will be clearly sign-posted so participants can cycle at their own pace. Full support and back up will be provided by the organisers.
A registration fee of £25 is required to sign up and the minimum sponsorship target of £175 is required. Or participants can pay £80 and raise as much sponsorship as possible for World Jewish Relief. Places are limited and are selling fast; over 180 participants from various charities are already registered.
