Suffolk Fire Ride 2017
Beccles Fire Station and Suffolk Fire & Rescue Service invite you to take part in our annual cycle sportive, the Suffolk Fire Ride. Starting at Beccles, situated on the River Waveney along the Suffolk/Norfolk Border, we are pleased to announce that this year’s routes will be set amongst the lovely rural lanes and beautiful rolling countryside found in this area of Suffolk at the southern tip of the Broads. The routes (with the exception of the 15 mile distance) will head towards the coast allowing you take in the picturesque town and seafront in Southwold, before heading back inland through the villages to Beccles.
Hosted by Beccles Fire Station, but departing from Beccles Rugby Club Community Hub, the ride takes place on Sunday 2nd July 2017, and offers 4 distances to choose from – 15, 35, 65 and 100 miles.
The Suffolk Fire Ride is a friendly cycle sportive suitable for all levels of riders. We hope you will join us and enjoy some spectacular Suffolk scenery and good grub on your return to the start.
