I am involved in organising a charity ride in aid of the local Air Ambulance and a children's charity, two very worthy causes and who knows when one of us may need the services of the Air Ambo unit.
The aim is to raise at least £1000 on the day.
Details as follows:
Date: August 2nd 2009
Meeting Point: Rubicon Centre car park, Lakeside, Redditch (will provide GPS co-ords later)
Time: 9.00am for a 10am start
Cost: £10 per bike - all proceeds go to the charity
Air Ambulance website http://www.countyairambulancetrust.co.uk/index.html
The ride will be followed by a barbecue at a local pub so you can all stock up on fodder before your ride home Venue TBA.
Route to be confirmed - I expect the ride to be around 4 hours in duration including a halfway stop.
The children's charity will be onsite selling teas and cold drinks and we'll also organise a snack van for bacon butties etc.
Obviously I would love to have a large contingent of tossers there and it would be great if you could respond to this thread if you intend to participate.
I'm going to be contacting the local radio and press to get some coverage and publicity.
Mods - can you make this a sticky until the event is over please
Thank you all.
Mike
