Excitement is building as the route for an upcoming three-day charity cycling challenge, set to unfold next month, has been disclosed. This invigorating event aims to raise crucial funds for The Drinks Trust, a prominent UK charity.
Spanning the picturesque landscapes of Surrey, Sussex, and Kent, the cycling challenge encompasses an impressive elevation gain of nearly 3,500 meters. Cyclists partaking in the event will conquer notable ascents, including the formidable Pitch, Whitedown, and Box Hills, in addition to Crockham and Ide.
The spirited endeavor spans a remarkable distance of nearly 350 kilometers throughout the three-day period. Participants will have the opportunity to explore renowned English wine producers, embarking on a journey that includes visits to esteemed establishments like Balfour, Bolney, Chapel Down, Gusborne, and Squerryes.
Named “The Harvest Tour,” this cycling adventure offers riders a sensory glimpse into the heart of English wine country. Notably, it coincides with the preparations of vintners as they gear up for the annual grape harvest, adding an extra layer of significance to the event.
The concept for The Harvest Tour was conceived through a collaborative effort between The Drinks Trust and The Wine Trade Sports Club Foundation. This charitable endeavor has garnered the support of VinLog Powered by Kuehne+Nagel, a specialized logistics service catering to the unique demands of the wine and spirits industry.
Enthusiastic cyclists and supporters alike are gearing up to contribute to this noble cause, as The Harvest Tour promises not only a physically challenging experience but also a remarkable opportunity to champion the charitable efforts of The Drinks Trust.
