Description
Together with their new partners Healey’s Cyder Farm, Saint Pira Pro Cycling Ltd are organising a weekend of cycling festivities that will take place on the 8th and 9th of September at Healey’s Cyder Farm. This event will cater for experienced cyclists as well as novices; there will be plenty of entertainment provided for the whole family, with kids ‘races’ on Sunday under the supervision of trained coaches. 1.5k participants are expected from all over the UK, and the plan is to grow the event annually. The sportive market is booming and this looks set to continue as cycling continues to grow in popularity. The fundamental aim of the event is to create a sustainable revenue stream for Saint Piran over the years, so they can continue to develop local cycling talent and eventually turn Cornwall into a cycling powerhouse!
Not only will this event be a fantastic advert for Cornwall, as the event routes [100 miles, 50 miles & 25 miles] take in some of the most picturesque areas of the county, it will also be a positive opportunity for the local economy. Set over 2 days, non-Cornish riders will stay in local hotels and B & B’s, use local shops, petrol stations etc. There will also be the opportunity for local food and drink producers to sell their products on Saturday at the farm, where the ‘race village’ will be situated. It is not unrealistic to aim for an event that caters for approx 10k riders within 3 years [Velo South, a new sportive, has 15k participants]; as our event grows, of course so does the benefit for the local community and economy.
