Help create special vintage

April Fool's Day is the date for the Forrest Estate Graperide Marlborough, which follows a 101km circuit through the stunning Marlborough landscape. Once the hard work is over, participants can join celebrity guests treading grapes to produce an exclusive vintage for next year's event. As well as individual and team categories, there's an old clanger ride for bicycles that are more than 50 years old, a short course for Penny Farthings, and a tandem category. Cyclists in the cancer riders section can be recovered or recovering patients, and can choose from a 19km or 101km course. Entry forms are online.
