This year, the event returns stronger than ever with a fun-packed morning of cycling for all who choose to participate.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s not a race. The whole event is designed to be a fun family day out, fitting in perfectly with Benalmadena\u2019s image as an idyllic destination for tourism and sports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This unique tradition started almost 41 years ago to encourage the use of bicycles as a healthy habit and an alternative form of transport. Many years later, there&#8217;s still a lot of work to do in this aspect, and the town hall remains committed to promoting the use of more eco-friendly and non-contaminating transport to help stop climate change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<p>So, back to the event\u2026 <strong>The fun starts at 10:00 am on Sunday 19th April<\/strong> from the Athletics Stadium in Arroyo de la Miel. It&#8217;s not a race and the whole idea is to enjoy a fun day with friends and family riding through the streets of Arroyo de la Miel. To make it more fun, the organisers encourage participants to go in fancy dress. There will be prizes for different categories, including most original outfits, and there will also be a prize draw amongst all participants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As it\u2019s a family event, the organisers have prepared two different routes, depending on age and fitness levels:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>One for children where they\u2019ll ride around the athletics track for 30 minutes.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Another longer 8 km urban route through the streets of Arroyo de la Miel for the rest of the participants.\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Last year&#8217;s edition of the event managed to <strong>attract over 1000 participants<\/strong> and the organisers hope to surpass these numbers for this year\u2019s event.
