Rattler Pro-Ride Event - This Weekend!

Published on 06 September 2018 10:09 AM

Age UK Cornwall Volunteers and staff will be attending the Rattler Pro-Ride on Saturday 8th September, offering advice, information and generally getting involved!

The event is held at Healey's Cyder Farm, with great support from Jenny and her Team from Bike Chain Bissoe, join us for a fun packed day. 

What is the Rattler Pro-Ride?

Join our event to help budding Cornish cyclists to achieve their dreams.

Rattler Cornish Cloudy Cyder is now a confirmed principal partner of Saint Piran, Cornwall’s first ever elite cycling team.

Shortly after joining forces with the team an idea was born; we decided we would start hosting an annual weekend of cycling in the heart of Cornwall. Both parties agreed that we wanted to do things a little differently. Although technically an amateur event, there was unanimous support for making the Rattler Pro Ride a sportive with a distinctly competitive element.

In order to achieve this, professional riders from the UK’s top teams will pit themselves against our eager challengers. The event will see King of the Mountain and Sprint competitions adding a ferocious edge to an already demanding sportive route.

Importantly, it is our hope that the Rattler Pro Ride will create a sustainable revenue channel for Saint Piran over the years, and help them achieve their goal of developing Cornish cycling talent.

All proceeds of the weekend’s cycling events go directly to Saint Piran.
