Join us for the Rutland Water Family Bike Ride 2018 and help raise valuable funds for the local NSPCC service centre.

Enjoy the beautiful scenery and wildlife whilst cycling at your own pace around the 17 mile perimeter of the famous Rutland Waters nature reserve. A great day out for all the family.

You’ll be guided along the route and cheered on throughout by our lovely NSPCC volunteers who'll also be handing out refreshments at various checkpoints around the circuit. A hog roast is included and will be awaiting riders at the finish line.
