‘Le Tour d’Estates’ will take place on Sunday 12th August and the organisers are encouraging experienced cyclists who can complete the 103 km route to join the challenge, aiming to raise collectively £20,000 for The Benevolent.

The intrepid peloton will set off from Rathfinny Wine Estate located in the South Downs of Sussex, one of England’s exceptional natural landscapes. The route will take them through the stunning Sussex countryside, including the third-highest point on the South Downs, Ditchling Beacon, before a much needed stop at Bolney Wine Estates.

The peloton is expected to cross the finish line back at Rathfinny Wine Estates, where the riders will be treated to a sumptuous BBQ and post-ride refreshments.

A big thank you to all those who will be riding - Andrew Shaw, Philip Tuck MW, Andrew Hawes, Kate Sweet, Warren Adamson, Richard James, Nigel Crossley, Chris Scott, Neil Simmons, Becci Calver, Alasdair Reay, Emily Reay, Simon Lawson, Luke Golding, Alan Montague-Dennis, Simon Prestige-Jones, Justin Liddle, Dermot Sugrue and Jacob Bugden.
