Ibbo's Cake Quest, 2010

When: Sunday, September 26th. 8-10am

Where: Surrey hills (start in Walton-on-the-Hill)

Why: To raise money for the John Ibbotson Fund that sends young riders to race on the continent

One of the friendliest events in the South East has been given a revamp for 2010. Ibbo's Cake Quest on September 26th will this year have free downloads from www.sportivephoto.com for each rider, event timing, mechanical backup from Neutral Service and of course lots and lots of delicious cake. For more details on the four routes (60, 110, and 150kms, plus a 20km guided off-road route) and how to enter go to www.ibbocakequest.com

The ride raises funds for the John Ibbotson Fund, set up in the name of the ex-pro-rider who died of arythmagenic right ventricular dysplasia when he was just 27. Ibbo, as he was known to all who raced against him, did much of his training on the beautiful roads around Leith Hill and ate cakes in the many cafes of the area.

This year the fund sent 19-year-old Sam Allen to Britanny to race for Hennebont Cyclisme, and backs 21-year-old Alastair Carr as he rides for AC Lanester.
