Thornton run RNLI cyclo-sportive 2011
Steve got a call the other day from the RNLI wanting to know if we would like to run a sportive with them. Their proposed route was Dungeness to Dover and back. They asked if we would do sponsorship but Steve felt that it would be better to have an entrance fee.
We are thinking of doing a similar style event to the Lord Whisky cyclo-sportive, for those of you that have done that. With a £15 entrance fee and the sportive will have feed stations provided by the RNLI.
A suggested time of the year is in September possibly, but must not clash with any other local events. It would be great for the profile of the club and it is on our doorstep.
Please leave comments on this post or email your ideas and comments. Eric,Kev,Gordon,Steve and myself have had a brief chat already. We would like to hear the rest of the club's views/ideas.

I am not a member of Thornton but do look at your site and blog occasionally to see what’s going on given that I ride the Marshes on a regular basis albeit as a solo cyclist due to the fact that I ride early on a Sat and Sunday, when I am in Hythe, so I can get home early.
I just wanted to say I think this would be a good idea and something I would look to attend. As you say it needs to avoid cutting across other events and I am not sure if you are aware that the Cyclefit sportive (Tour of the Marshes) is scheduled for 18th Sept.

Sportive is a great idea, I would like to help with the route!
