HILLBUSTER: Homelessness charity’s cycle race returns to Hemel Hempstead

 Published on: 10th May 2023   |   By: Nik Allen   |   Category: Uncategorized

The annual DENS Hillbuster cycle race is set to return Gadebridge Park, Hemel Hempstead, on Sunday, May 21.

The ride, run in association with British Cycling, takes participants through historical villages across the Three Counties and up and down the rolling hills of the Chilterns.

All of this is done to raise money for the Dacorum-based homelessness charity, DENS.

This year, the routes for the 25km, 60km and 100km distances have been given a revamp, and the organisers have introduced the toughest challenge yet for cyclists in the form of the 120km category.

As always, at the base of the race in Gadebridge Park, there will be a vibrant event village with street food and drink. Along the way, cyclists can also expect feed stations with free energy gels, snacks and refreshments.

Tim Warrell, director at Lovelo Cycle Works, a cycle shop in Berkhamsted which has created the new routes, said: “We are delighted to continue our partnership with DENS and their epic Hillbuster. The routes should be fun yet challenging, taking on classic Chiltern climbs through beautiful countryside, and should go down a treat with the riders.”

Wendy Lewington, CEO at DENS, said: “This is a fantastic opportunity for riders of all backgrounds and abilities to experience the thrill of our legendary cycling event, while also playing a part to help local people in need during these difficult times.”
