Okay, every year we do a small ride around the streets of London for a chosen charity.....As some of you may know i work in the NHS and the people at work asked if i would do something for them instead?
So come September 11th myself, Griff, Spike371 and Level have signed up to do a London to Brighton ride on our BMXs

part of the Trust that i work for is called The St Marks Trust and is nationally known as one of the best bowel and intestinal Hospitals in the country, they perform ground breaking surgery and were one of the first places to do bowel cancer screening.

We have put a couple of justgiving sites together, Griff has done a seperate one due to his firm promising to match the first £500 he raises, so please feel free to donate a few quid to either of them (it all goes to the same place i guess) and if anyone else wants to join us (there is a couple of others from my Trust doing it as well) then please feel free and just let me know so i can send you the links

hoping enough of us will sign up and we'll be able to raise a great big chunk of cash this year, as well as take over Brighton with the BMX

bit of this

Another one! our band of idiots is growing by the day

Let Pickle know when you have signed up so he can add you to the team list

So will you be riding up the night before???

griff · « **Reply #8 on:** March 10, 2011, 09:18 PM »

been messing about on pc after scanning my race plate - wanted to see how it might look as I was worried I wouldn't be able to fit many sponsor names on there
should have plenty of room actually even after putting the St Mark's logo on (sorry pickle couldn't resist giving it the Brighton 'rainbow' treatment

)
will do the real one in proper colours

anyone else up for this?

griff · « **Reply #9 on:** March 11, 2011, 10:15 AM »

10 o'clock on the Monday is more likely

level · « **Reply #17 on:** March 14, 2011, 09:11 PM »

Yeah, you gotta love that F**KER at the end!!!!!!!!

griff · « **Reply #18 on:** March 14, 2011, 09:23 PM »

Justin! you shouldn't show people that until after they've signed up FFS

actually I'm not sure if I like the look of 'the beacon' but at least the last bit is downhill

now let's see if anyone else signs up

level · « **Reply #19 on:** March 14, 2011, 09:43 PM »

Ohhh!!!!! I'll be leaving now. Sorry

Think I'll be tempted to set the GPS on my Iphone and see what the old DB will max out at! That downhill defiantly make is worth while!

I will resist the urge to put a bigger cog on the front!

spike371 · « **Reply #21 on:** March 14, 2011, 09:53 PM »

Everyone has been telling me about that 'little' hill at the end

Still, after 46 miles im sure we wont give in to it

level · « **Reply #22 on:** March 14, 2011, 09:56 PM »

Not a chance mate, we stick together, keep the pace up and take it in turns at the front to pull each other to the top.

griff · « **Reply #23 on:** March 14, 2011, 10:11 PM »

trust me - you DON'T want to ride in my slipstream

can we still stop for a nice ploughman's and a pint on the way?

level · « **Reply #24 on:** March 14, 2011, 10:17 PM »

Does slipstream even work at 4mph?
