Saturday 28 September sees the first of the season’s hugely popular Hoppers Rollers pre match cycle rides. The unique combination of cycling, rugby and great food involves a morning cycle followed by lunch and then watching the 1st XV host Leicester Lions
Meet at 7:30 for breakfast with a start of 8.15am. Lunch is served at 1.00pm with the match kicking off at 2.30. The cost is £27 to enter.
New this time there will be two routes. A Challenge Route will incorporate some iconic local hill climbs on Jeffrey Hill. The Rolling route will be a flatter course for more social riders. Both routes will be in a similar area with a café stop planned in Chipping at the Cobbled Corner Café with a coffee and a flapjack included in the price.
