Instead of driving to Blenheim Palace to support the Hall Triathletes, Chris Godwin and his band of merry cyclists – parents, friends and staff – will once again ride from The Hall to Blenheim, a distance of around 70m/110km, in an effort to raise a fund for the charity Cure EB, set up to finding effective treatments and a cure for Epidermolysis Bullosa.
The Hall, led by the Triathlon Team, are hoping to raise £25k this year through the Blenheim Palace initiative; to help the fund-raising efforts, the Tour de Godwin asks for a minimum contribution of £200 from each participating cyclist, which can be a direct contribution, or sponsorship, or a combination which will go directly to this year’s charity Cure EB.
Departure from The Hall will be at c.7.00am on Saturday, May 28th, so that we arrive at Blenheim well in advance of the Triathlon start for those who wish to watch their loved ones compete. Return by road or rail. Depending on ability and experience, it is likely that three groups of varying speeds will set off from the school; Fast, Medium and Leisurely. The majority of the Tour group riders should arrive at The Hall’s marquee before the first wave of triathletes set off around midday, ready to cheer on and support their other halves and friends facing the triathlon challenges.
In 2022 the ride is again going to be mapped, guided and supported. It is open to anyone who wants to participate. The route to Woodstock is very picturesque in places and a time to stop for a rest is scheduled en route for refreshment and to admire the scenery.
