*2 new and exciting routes available- fun for all the family this Autumn at the Bredon Hill Bikeaway*

Join us for a fun ride

For the past 11 years, cyclists of all ages and abilities have shown their support for the Pershore Division of St. John Ambulance by taking part in their fundraising Bikeaways. These events have proved so popular and due to great public demand, Sunday 12th October 2008 sees the return of the Bredon Hill Bikeaway, with four exciting family orientated routes to choose from (2 of which are new this year!)

Starting at the beautiful Deer Park Hall at Eckington, Nr Pershore, this year's Bikeaway will consist of 4 routes. The Beginners Route (A leisurely 5 1/2 miles), The Lounge Lizards Route (A relaxing 9 miles), The Family Route (A fun 16 miles) and the Adventurer's Route (A challenging but exciting 47 miles) all promise to provide you with delightful Autumnal scenery, sights and sounds' of Bredon Hill and the surrounding villages and hamlets.

Registration will open at 9am and continue until 11am with the official start of the Bikeaway at 9.30am. Maps of your chosen route will be available upon registration (or upon request prior to the event).

The order of St John

Many people will be familiar with the black and white uniforms of St John Ambulance. At almost every public event our members can be seen administering first aid and many other varied and interesting tasks. As well as this work

which is very much in the public eye, there is also the St. John Ambulance Association which is responsible for training programmes.
