June 10th sees the annual Mix 96 Tour de Vale bike ride reappear to raise money for WheelPower, British Wheelchair Sport. The Tour de Vale is a sponsored Charity bike ride and has been running successfully for as many years as I can remember.

Ok so the event may not be a specialist mountain bike event, but with three different length routes its a great social ride, training ride or family ride. Its nice to get out on the quiet back roads sometime for a chilled out ride.

Three routes will be available; a 15 mile 'family route, a 30 mile' route for the 'leisure cyclist' and a challenging 50 mile route. New for 2007 is the new 15mile business challenge - get your company to get a team of riders out on the day to compete against other rival Buckinghamshire Companies! The winning company will receive a outdoor team building experience and challenge cup!!!

All the routes are well signposted and this year will be marshalled and will also include bike mechanics on call along the routes. At the start/finish at the Stoke Mandeville Stadium (the old Guttman sports centre) there will be refreshments and a barbeque as well as the usual appearances from local bike shops and mix 96.

Prices for the event are £10.00 each adult, under 16s £5.00 or a family entry for £20.00 (2adults and up to 3 children).

Event organisers cannot be held responsible for personal injury, accident, loss, damage or public liability.
