THORNHILL EVENTS O Tour de Thornhill n The second Tour de Thornhill was held at the Central Park on Saturday, 29 July 2017! The event kicked off at 11h00 with the enthusiastic par- ticipants arriving early to sort out their indemnity forms and check their route. There were 3 routes according to age and was organised so that each race took place at a different time, allowing everyone to be involved and support the riders as they were leaving and crossing the finish line. We started with the toddler route (age 5 and under) which was around central park. They zipped around the park in no time and came racing over the finish line to claim their participation medals and sweetie packs. This was followed by the big kids ride (6 – 11 years) which had a slightly longer route this year. Even with the extended route they finished in record time and enjoyed their well-deserved refreshments. The tweens (12 – 15 years) did the adult route this year. They said it was a tough long route but they thoroughly enjoyed it. Once again we had very tight finishes. The cycle races concluded with the adult route (16+ years). This was a route that went almost all around the estate and was both on and off road. There was a well-deserved water table, set up by H2O Bedfordview, at Continued.... The Winners!
