First charity ride
My first charity ride today, 23 mph NE wind and heavy rain :(
Still it was only 12 miles, and I finished it earlier than most of the kids who were riding with their parents. Next year I must get to the start line earlier, so that I don't spend the first five miles crawling behind cyclists going at a pace I find uncomfortably slow. I'm hoping to get a place on the group from work who'll be doing the London to Brighton this year. Richard |
Hi RichardD
We have the same weather here today... Can you tell me where I could find out about rides in the UK? Cheers |

How does a charity ride work? Do you have to find sponsors that pledge mony per distance? Or is it just to make people aware of the cause? Thanks Joe :beer: |
Over here it's a case of finding sponsors. This one was organised by volunteers and funded by a local firm, with sponsorship going to any local charity of the riders choice. Some are organised by a specific charity.
