Bike Week
Bike Week
is a special week in June
when all sorts of bike-related events happen all over the
country. And Enfield is no exception...
Following on from the success of the
first Enfield Festival of Cycling, this year the event will be
at the end of Bike Week on
Sunday 22 June
at Picketts Lock Athletics
Centre, as part of the
Lea Valley Festival.
As with last year, Edmonton
Cycle Club plan to play an active role in the event, so put the date in
your diary!
Bike Week events for this
year -
Sunday 15th June: 16-seater
bike ride for the Nightingale Community Hospice Trust
A local charity, the Nightingale
Community Hospice Trust (www.nightingalehospice.org.uk)
is organising a sponsored 15 mile tour of Enfield on a
16-seater "bike". If you would relish the opportunity to
ride on this amazing machine, while raising money for a good cause,
the charity are still looking for riders. You need to be prepared to
commit to raising at least £200 in sponsorship for a seat on the
bike. Alternatively, come along on your bike to Enfield Civic
Centre at 10.45am on the day to see the bike off! Enfield LCC plan
to provide a bicycle entourage for this monster machine!
If you are interested in a place on the
16-seater, please call Mary Rose on 020 8366 9674.
