29 th Aug - about 4 p.m - The Great Tour: Charity ride comes to Clovelly, North Devon
At approximately 4 p.m. on Sunday, 29 th August you could be lucky enough to witness a host of intrepid cyclists rattling down the cobbles of Clovelly.
The inaugural Great Tour ride is one of the UK 's greatest challenges - a circumnavigation of Britain 's coastline by bicycle, starting from Seaton, Devon , on 3rd July. The riders are drawn from the worlds of sport, celebrity, charity, politics, science and the arts. For 64 days they will never lose sight of the sea during their epic 6,600 km pedal in aid of The Prostate Cancer Charity and the National Grocers Benevolent Fund, Caravan.
The fifth of the last remaining six stages from Selworthy, North Somerset to Clovelly, North Devon, will be one of the most arduous: 56 miles, with two valleys to negotiate on Exmoor . Subject to weather, the most resolute of the cyclists will finish this leg of the journey with an off-road cycle along Clovelly's Hobby Drive followed by a bone-shaking ride down the cobbles to the harbour, where they will be welcomed by Clovelly's owner, The Hon. John Rous.
After camping overnight at Clovelly, they set off on their next leg to Padstow the following morning at about 9 a.m.
Everyone is invited to join in this colourful and inspirational sporting celebration of the British coastline. For further details, please see www.thegreattour.org
