The Manchester to Blackpool Bike Ride Sports


The cycling event of the year is back!

As part of Team Christie, you’ll receive:
• Free Team Christie t-shirt
• Fundraising and training support
• Full event-day support (mechanics, first aid, refreshments and pick-up vehicles)
• FREE Team Christie cycling jersey when you raise £250 by 5 July
