We have organised a charity cycle ride from Richmond to Reading this coming Saturday (27th) starting at 9.30am at Richmond Green opposite Richmond underground station. We are raising money for disaster victims in Haiti following the Earthquake and the aim is to cumulatively cycle from London to Haiti as a group. Crazy huh? It's doable if we get 90 people cycling 50miles each, although at the moment we only have 52 people on board for the 50mile cycle. Here's where you might be able to help...
The event is organised in conjunction with The RedR charity (see www.RedR.org.uk homepage - The London to Haiti Challenge). We're not looking for money or sponsorship (we've got over £2k raised already: see http://www.justgiving.com/London-to-Haiti) but are looking for more cyclists to join us on the day. There are three ways of taking part - doing the 50 mile cycle, the 10 mile cycle, or the 15 mile walk, although ideally, we would like everyone who joins us from here to sign up for the 50 mile cycle. Please see attached information pack for further details.
Participation is free and a free t-shirt is also thrown in (handed out on the day as it will be too late to post if you sign up now). The route follows the Thames and is largely on designated cycle paths, B-roads, with few A-roads. It will be signposted all the way on the day with official stop-points and routes mapped out and handed to everyone on the day. It's not too late to register (you can even let us know the day before), and we would really appreciate you joining us for this event to help us reach our target of cumulatively cycling from London to Haiti (4468 miles). There will be food and drinks laid on at the end in the final pub in Reading as a thank you to all participants.
For more info on joining with further details (or if you have any queries), please email info@elliottwood.co.uk. We hope you can help - many thanks in advance!
