2011 Roundabout Rider
On average 112 women die as a result of domestic violence every year. Standing Together and friends are setting out to ride 112 kilometres in one day to highlight the prevalence of domestic violence within society and the damage it causes. Cyclists and runners can also take part in The Roundabout, an 11.2 mile route around Windsor Great Park. The event has been a great success in the previous three years, and we are looking to make it bigger and better in 2012.
Spaces on The Challenge (the full 112km route) are limited to 112, so to make sure you don't miss out, complete your booking form now.
In order to confirm your place we ask riders to commit to raising a minimum of £112. We are conscious that in the current economic climate asking friends and family for money can be difficult, so to make it that bit easier with have come up with a few fun ideas to raise the money; or we have a sponsor form you can use if you prefer to do it that way.
To help prepare those of you who might be new to cycling we have produced a Novice Rider Guide which includes suggestions for training and what to eat on the day. The Good Cycle Guide provides useful tips and safety advice to be aware of whilst you are out training and during the bike ride.
Starting at Windsor Great Park, The Challenge route travels along a beautifully scenic route, through Berkshire and Oxfordshire and then back into the Great Park. You can download and print the Challenge Route, or for the more technologically advance amongst you, a previous participant very kindly plotted the full route into a Sat Nav format, which you can now download directly on to your own Sat Nav.
The Roundabout Route (an 11.2 mile route you can cycle or run) starts at the same location at The Challenge but then follows the cycle path around the Great Park itself.
The Start and Finish Line is within a car park so there is plenty of space for parking if you intend to drive on the day, the park is easily accessible via a number of main roads. If you will be arriving by train, the route from the station to the Park should take approximately 20mins to cycle - a good warm up!
In previous years, family and friends have come along to cheer on participants, which really adds to the atmosphere of the day. If your supporters would like to come along, there are a number of areas around the start/finish line which are perfect for picnics, games of football or just lazing in the sun! Furthermore if your friend or family member is taking part in The Roundabout, there are a couple of cafes within the park which the cyclists will pass - this map should help you pick a good spot!
