Nigel Clough And Rammie To Launch 5 Park Ride + Free Stoke Tickets
This year sees the club turning the grand old age of 125 years old and as part of their celebrations they have teamed up with some local organisations.
Cycle Derby, Derbys cycle demonstration town project, are one of the clubs official 125 year anniversary partner organisations. Cycle Derbys aim is to get more kids out on their bikes more often while making sure they do so in a safe manner. This involves visiting schools and teaching children to ride bikes through Cycling Englands Bikeabilty scheme: cycling proficiency for the 21st century.
Each year Cycle Derby hosts a cycling festival called The Big Cycle Weekend at Markeaton Park and the 2009 event is this coming weekend (July 11th & 12th).
On Sunday there will be a five parks ride that is open to all and, as part of Cycle Derby and Derby Countys ongoing partnership, Nigel Clough & Rammie will be opening the event. The ride follows local cycle routes and paths for 6 circular miles around the green heart of Derby. It’s a short and easy ride that takes you through many of the city’s parks, open spaces, along the river and through the city centre.
Not only will the you get to see Rammie and Cloughie but you can also get a free pair tickets to the Rams pre-season friendly against Premier league Stoke City when you complete the ride!
The first forty kids on both the Saturday and Sunday to complete five of the various activities and hand in a completed activity form will also get a pair of tickets to the Stoke friendly.
