Pedalling through the Broads at the height of summer can be thirsty work.

Which is why Woodforde's Brewery will ensure riders at this year's Richardson's Tour de Broads have a reward at the finish line with a brew made specially for the event.

On Sunday, August 21, the Broadland-inspired brew, 'Beer de Broads' will be exclusively available to riders, courtesy of head brewer Belinda Jennings.

Woodforde's managing director Rupert Farquharson said: 'We've used the finest raw materials from the local region to produce a Broadland-inspired beer for the riders.'

Greg Munford, chief executive of Richardson's Boating Holidays and new chairman of Broads Tourism, said: 'Training for the ride has immersed me in another side of the Broads – the land. It's now great to see one of our newest Broads Tourism members, Woodforde's, producing a special craft beer for this very special event.'

Neil Turner, from Pedal Revolution, the organisers of Tour de Broads, added: 'Our vision for Tour de Broads is to engage, inspire and enable people from all walks of life to come and enjoy cycling in our beautiful corner of the world.'
