Cyclists get in gear for hospice ride
The newly-named Heroica Hospice Ride, formerly known as the Flagg Challenge, has been revamped with Bolsover & District Cycling Club and Brampton Manor and introduces a 100mile route alongside the traditional 50mile Classic and 25mile routes.
All routes start and finish from Ashgate Hospicecare, at Old Brampton, Chesterfield, and include feed stations, a back-up vehicle, a photographer, goody bags and a Strava link and a soup and roll at the finish.
