Tour De Tendring
Help raise money for the RNLI as part of the Essex Legacy 2012 Olympic celebrations!
Cycle on one of three circular routes around the picturesque district of Tendring - perfect cycling country with quiet roads, low hills and views to the sea.
All routes start and finish in Dovercourt - the long route visits the classic seaside resort of Clacton on Sea, famous for its Pier, St Osyth, and Great Bentley which has the biggest village green in England. The routes rejoin in Great Oakley, mentioned in the Domesday Book, before the finish where you can unwind with refreshments, beer tent and a swimming pool!
The 6 mile family ride is mostly traffic free as it passes through the historic town of Harwich (including Britain's oldest cinema!) up to the coast, passing three lighthouses on the way back to Dovercourt.

Make your Big Splash for Sport Relief at the Swimathon Weekend 2012
There is a whole host of reasons to get excited during 2012, with the London Olympic Games making its way to the capital this summer, and the worlds biggest fundraising swim coming to a pool near you this April!
If you want to get in on the action, the Big Splash Mile for Sport Relief, part of the Swimathon Weekend, is a great reason to get in the pool with friends and family and raise money for worthwhile causes at the same time.
Taking place in 650 pools from 27 to 29 April 2012, swimming a mile for Sport Relief really can make a difference to people living incredibly tough lives here in the UK and across the worlds poorest countries. Over the last year, money raised by Sport Relief has provided access to clean water for almost 52,000 people living in slums. Just £5 could buy new clothes for a child living on the streets of Nepal and £1000 could transform the lives of a whole community living in the slums of Kenya by giving them permanent access to clean water. But it is not just overseas where your money makes a difference, as here in the UK just £10 could give expert advice to a person living with dementia to improve their quality of life.
By signing up, youll receive a British Gas Swimfit training plan to prepare you for the challenge, so as well as raising vital funds; youll also improve your health and fitness.
If you want to go to further lengths for charity, theres also the chance to tackle the Swimathon 2.5k, 5k or Team 5k challenges to raise vital funds for Marie Curie Cancer Care.
Do something amazing today and sign up to the Big Splash Mile for Sport Relief.
For further information about the Big Splash Mile for Sport Relief and the Swimathon Weekend, and to register for your challenge, visit www.swimathon.org.
