London to Brighton Charity Ride - feeling fit???
dinglem:
Is she doing the ride too? If so I should add her to the list so we know how many we're trying to meet up with at the start....
pickle:
see if you can beat our time, Griff, myself and a couple of guys from the Burner forum did it a few years back and it took us 8 hours!
The food stop half way though is epic!! :daumenhoch:
You will all need to pull on eachother though as we all had moments where we were ready to jack it in, but we all rallied and got the motivation back up.
Good luck guys :daumenhoch:

It was 8.5 hours. Tbf it would have been way less than that if we hadn't stopped every 5 yards for the guy who did Fook all training :teef:
dinglem:
So 8.5hours is the time we have got to beat then :daumenhoch:
The wife seems to think she will leave us all behind and will be in the pub in Brighton before we even get to the Beacon hill.... I'm not so sure, but we'll see. She is doing it on her mountain bike, so she has gears (and aerodynamics!) on her side. She got in from a 15mile training ride about half an hour ago, whereas I'm stuck offshore for the next couple of weeks ???
We will try to keep all of the BMXers together in one gaggle... I am really starting to look forward to it now. Are there many water stations along the route, out of interest?
I have just posted this on the RAD Fb page, but I will paste it in here too as it concerns the heart screening events we are striving to put together:-
'Ok guys and girls... time is ticking away before our mammoth London to Brighton charity bike ride. Myself, the wife and around 15 others from RAD are tackling this, and the majority of our team are riding our Old School rides. I'm taking my WHEELS Pro (thanks Mike Janssen!) and i have even managed to talk Anto But from the original WHEELS team to join us. We are raising funds to place public accessible defibs in the community, and also to allow us to fund and run our very own heart screening event early in 2017. These days are costing us 3500pounds for each day and we currently have 3 days booked in Feb next year. Each day will screen 100 people, totally free, funded by the kind donations made during our fund raising efforts so far. If you have friends, family and loved ones who are aged 13-35, get them booked in. I will post up more details of how once we have made the necessary bookings, venues etc... For now, if you can dig deep and make even the smallest donation then you, the OS BMX community could be saving a life.'
