Memorial Ride - 11/09/2010 2pm

Passing this on. We all know that Lewes Road can be dangerous to ride on. It would be good to have people attend this, show their support.

"Joanna Walters was a resident of Hove and a trainee teacher at the University of Brighton who was tragically killed on 13/07/10 whilst cycling back from University on the Lewes road.

Joanna was a keen sportswoman; a member of the local yacht, hockey and kayak clubs as well as a keen cyclist. The cycle ride ride is a chance for people to get together and enjoy a sporting challenge and also launch the foundation that is being set up in Jo's memory. The foundation is being set up by myself (Jo's boyfriend) and some of her closest family and friends and will aim to support causes that Jo would have been most interested in. This will include education, sport and Jo also taught in Kenya for a year so potentially some overseas projects.

We are looking for as many people to participate and support the event as possible. If you would be interested in taking part in the cycle ride or would like to come along or support the ride in some other way it would would very good to hear from you. You can sign up for the event through our website (link below)

Yes. The ultimate end of summer 'I'm-gonna-have-you-all-at-this-ride' "race" That i've been waiting for.

I will donate $1 for everyone I know that finishes the ride behind me, and $2 for anyone that I know that finishes it in front of me!

i heard about the accident, but i just assumed the person involved was ok. didn't realise it had ended like this.

Would love to make it, but its the same day as the HH Track day.

I will be there. She was a good kid (and one of my students).

Ghost bike?

possible. can discuss with family on 11th...

OK cool, I have a bike we can use as a ghost bike, maybe if we suggest with family, I have done a lot of work with the ghost bike community in London, and have produced a book of images, which we can show them if you want.
