Fight in the Forest is a new cyclo-sportive in the New Forest, Hampshire, being organised in aid of the LiveStrong Foundation, Lance Armstrong's cancer awareness initiative.
Two lengths of ride are on offer, both starting and finishing in the picturesque surroundings of the Beaulieu Estate, perhaps best known as the home of the National Motor Museum, on Sunday, April 3 2011.
Riders can choose between a more sedate 25-mile loop or the full-on SRAM 50-mile route, both of which wind their way through some of the New Forest's best-known scenic spots, including the Ornamental Driveway.
Entry fee is £20 for the 25-mile route, and £25 for the 50-mile route. Entry fees include a donation to LiveStrong. Event registration opens on December 15, 2010.
In addition to the bike rides, there are two trail runs (5km and 10km) and a duathlon (5km run, 40km bike, 5km run). Organisers are hoping for around 5,000 people to participate in the event in total.
