The Dave Rayner Fund and sent to Bill Holmes, 6 Brookfield Drive, Littleborough, Lancs. OL15 8RH.

The two riders who raise the most money through sponsorship will receive 2 free tickets for the top table at the Dave Rayner Annual Fund Raising Dinner.

Please do not treat your entry lightly, remember to respect the challenge.  The Etape du Dales route is an extremely difficult 112 mile ride and requires an excellent level of fitness.  It takes in the major climbs in the Yorkshire Dales and that means steep and technical descents as well. The course has good signage but you should be aware of the route and terrain.

Make sure you have adequate clothing and your equipment is in perfect order, a bottom gear of 39 x 25 minimum is recommended.  Safety approved cycling helmets are compulsory for all participants, no helmet, no start.

The 2010 Etape was a great success

THANKYOU TO ALL ETAPE RIDERS!!
