Race at Silverstone

The "Operation Smile" charity is sponsoring an event in conjunction with British Cycling and Team SKY. There will be individual and team events. How about a Wheelers' team? Here is the invitation from Operation Smile: Dear Club members, I would like to invite you to take part in our exciting cycling event at Silverstone Race Track on 02.10.16. We have one lap (3.6 miles) 10mile TT and 25 mile TT individual challenges and a 25 mile TT four person team challenge. There will be family cycling in the afternoon along side Star Wars and Disney characters. We think there is something for all levels of cycling!

The event is supported by British Cycling and Team Sky. Team Sky pro cyclists will be laying down lap challenge times and have donated Team Sky bikes from this years Tour as prizes for fastest male and female lap of the day. Sir Ben Ainslie and the Americas Cup Challenge Team have donated a day sailing with them at Portsmouth on the Americas Cup Challenge Boat as the prize for the fastest male and female four person team.
Frog Bikes have donated a customised Frog Bike, helmet and back pack, for a prize draw for all children entering the family cycling events.
The costs of the event have been underwritten by our sponsors, so all proceeds from the day will go to Operation Smile UK. We fund surgery for children all over the world without access to surgical care.  It costs £150 and 45 minutes to repair a cleft lip.  So if a team from your club takes part, you will not only have a great days cycling, but have the chance to win a Team Sky bike and Sail with Sir Ben Ainslie, whilst funding a cleft lip repair for a child.
We hope to see you on 2nd October!
