Pedal Wye Valley is a new but is organised by Parkinson's UK Events Teams which is renowned for its quality charity sportives!
Here are some reviews from another of their events:
I’ve taken part in Pedal for Parkinson’s for the last five years. I cycle because my husband has Parkinson’s. I want to help find a cure and improve the lives of everyone affected by the condition. Deirdre Duncan, Pedal for Parkinson's Ambassador
Not only does this event bring together people with a connection to Parkinson’s, it also brings together a community that loves cycling. Dave Usherwood
I would encourage anyone of all cycling abilities to take part. It’s so well organised, there’s a route for everyone, and it's a great way to support and help make a difference. I feel very privileged to be a part of such a great charity event. Looking forward to cycling with team Parkinson’s in 2025. Susan, Pedal participant
