Okay, I want to do a charity ride in March. I've not sorted a date yet or even a town to ride round but I was wondering who fancies it?

As for the charity? Well today I heard about the superb work that one of our members does with badly treated animals and just how hard that can be.

I'm putting it out there with the hope we can get together for a few beers, bit riding and taking the piss but raise a bit of dosh for the animal shelter.

Ideally the venue needs to be pretty close to Bracknell if poss.

Any ideas??

Top stuff..........we're thinking of suitable places.......Windsor has been mentioned

I'd be in to this. Great cause too

. Will make the effort to get there wherever it is.

I'll try and get to this, so long as I'm not out digging up dead stuff

insectbones · « **Reply #11 on:** January 25, 2015, 09:04 PM »

If it's after the 10th I've more chance of making it

pickle · « **Reply #12 on:** January 25, 2015, 09:05 PM »

I will get a date off Jay and plan it round that

insectbones · « **Reply #13 on:** January 25, 2015, 09:20 PM »

Cool

pickle · « **Reply #14 on:** January 25, 2015, 10:00 PM »

But how does Windsor sound?

insectbones · « **Reply #15 on:** January 25, 2015, 10:02 PM »

Not bothered where it is, as long as there is a hotel near (ish)

I reckon it's the best bet near Bracknell if you want somewhere with stuff going on that might attract out-of-towners - plenty of touristy spots and nice views plus there are a few cycle paths around (Bracknell is surrounded by dual carriageways so not ideal tbh)

How far do you want to pedal?

There is Chest-Air on the 28th March - We could always turn that in to a charity bash

It needs to be pretty close to Bracknell though Brett $:-\$

griff · « **Reply #19 on:** January 26, 2015, 10:31 AM »

exchanged a few messages with Jay this morning

She's suggested Saturday 14th March, so we potentially have a date even if we don't have a route yet..

As far as route goes she said she'd love to bring some of her animals out to meet us at the finish or something and has a pub local to her/the rescue that would be cool about hosting it. Not sure how far you lot are prepared to ride but that would be a bit of a trek from Windsor (if you had to pedal back afterwards)

So how far are you prepared to ride lads?

10 miles?
15 miles?
20 miles?

Let's get some kind of consensus and we can get planning ASAP

martin46 · « **Reply #20 on:** January 26, 2015, 01:07 PM »

I think 10-15 mile round trip is plenty on a bmx, with a few stops along the way

That's fine with me - just don't want to put anyone off
If we can get a nice loop (or a start/finish with an easy train ride back) that would be cool

Charity bike ride you say?

I'll have some of that. Love a charity bike ride me.

pickle · « **Reply #23 on:** January 26, 2015, 02:06 PM »

sounds good to me Griff

griff · « **Reply #24 on:** January 26, 2015, 02:15 PM »
