Coast 2 Coast 2 Coast - HMCC charity ride

Many of you may have heard talk about a challenging ride for 2016 and this thread is the formal announcement.

A number of A riders have spoken to me about taking on a challenge for charity so we have decided to attempt a coast to coast and back again challenge. We will be raising money for Bloodwise, a charity aimed at finding a cure for blood cancers including Leaukemia and Lymphoma. This is one of the clubs "official" charities in part closely linked to a club member's young son who was taken by this type of cancer.

Details

The ride will take place on Sunday 12th June, route to be finalised but starting at/near Morecambe heading east to Saltburn on Sea then we turn around and head all the way back - total distance 330km/205miles (ish). In case this wasn't challenging enough we will also be aiming to race the Sun - setting off early with the aim to be back by sunset.

Currently we have around 10 riders interested which is about the size of group we want to have, enough to share the work but small enough to limit mechanicals and keep organisation simple - we have a support crew to help carry stuff and act as a broom wagon. If any race/A riders are mad enough to think this is something you want in on, let me know and we will see if spaces come free as people may see sense over the coming weeks and drop out!

We are limiting to this to A riders due to race the sun element, however if others want to take this on and form their own group then more than happy to share our plans, route and logistics so HMCC can raise even more money for a good cause.

 

Charity

I know that last year there were many mad challenges and reasons to put your hand in your pocket for various charities, however it will spur the group on to know we are doing this with a decent amount of money to go to Bloodwise, so please donate what you can. You, family, friends, work colleagues and some bloke from down the pub can donate in one of two ways.

Online here - https://www.justgiving.com/HMCC-C2C2C

Or send a text to 70070 - with the code HMCC55 and £X (with X being the amount you can afford to donate).

 

As the date comes closer we will be finalising all the details and updating the club/nudging you to make donations - until then let the training begin!
