HERO RIDE 2014 - Dawn Raid Sportive - Tedworth House to London
Due to the popularity of the Dawn Raid - a sportive that takes riders to London as the sun rises - it will be returning as part of Hero Ride once again, raising funds for Help for Heroes!
In keeping with the military tradition, the route will set off from the Help for Heroes run Recovery Centre at Tedworth House in Wiltshire, where wounded, injured and sick servicemen and women are helped with their recovery. This 100-mile sportive will take 250 riders through Wiltshire, Hampshire and Surrey to the iconic Box Hill, retracing the tracks of the London 2012 Olympic Road Race heroes, before taking a turn into south London and dropping to the meeting point at Blackheath Common before cycling into London with all the other Hero Riders!
