Centurion Ride Practice Two - 2018

Centurion Ride Practice Two

This is for the riders who are doing the Centurion Ride on September 2nd & who have booked on AND donated.

If you're unsure about riding 100 miles on the 2nd September then do the warm up rides & see how you get on.

You can now split the Centurion over the two warm up rides and do 100 miles over the two weekends before the main ride.

These are flat rides, so it's a question of time in the saddle, nutrition & hydration - oh & of course, cake!


This ride will do the Southern loop of the Centurion down to Southport and back. It will give you a chance to get to know the route & help people who are on the ride for the first time on the 2nd September.

We will stop at one of our favourite cafes en route - or even two!

We will do the lap of the Southern Loop at a brisk pace to get everyone in the mood - the Centurion build up starts here!

Please check your bike over the night before the ride, tyres inflated, all bolts tight, lubricated. Clothing, Helmet & lights checked & ready.

Please aim to be ready to ride 15 mins before the ride start time, getting away on time is good for everyone.

Ensure you have money, a phone, your navigation tools, food & drinks.
We will help people as much as we can, but ultimately you are responsible for yourself & your bike.

You will need to provide a minimum £10 donation to cover the expenses of the support drivers - every penny left over will go to the charity North West Air Ambulance.


We have started a Just Giving page as that will ensure the charity receives the money directly & also benefits from gift aid & you can be sure your money goes to the charity.

Minimum £ 10 - no donation, no ride.

Please donate as soon as you have booked on here!
