Human Race Operations Director Kirsty Wilde said:

“We are delighted that Macmillan Cycletta will return for a sixth year at these two fantastic venues. We are excited to share the stunning routes we have planned with riders, which we believe are as spectacular as you will find for any sportive of a similar distance.”

Nicola Jones from Macmillan Cancer Support’s Challenge Events Team said:

“Macmillan are delighted to again be involved in the Cycletta series for 2016. Last year these two events raised over £46,000 helping us to provide vital support to ensure no-one has to face cancer alone. We are urging as many ladies as possible to get out on their bikes and join Team Macmillan this year.”
