tempting

A ride around london all day messing about - with out the pub stops, is about 27 miles ish on a bmx

the hills are the killer

27 miles? No way

yeah, you'd be fine adam - go for it
the hills are a 'challenge' but you can push your bike up those (we even saw people pushing mountain bikes up the ditchling beacon, or spinning their cranks in such a low gear that it made me wonder why they were bothering)
only thing that made me really suffer tbh was the last hill in the town which appeared by surprise just before the end, coinciding with the very serious and urgent need to have a dump which had refused to appear all day, despite a few requests. it was a good job there was a pub at the top of it or I would have been in trouble

We have got quite a few signing up over on Burnerworld.

I've opened a team donation page, once people register for the ride let me know and I will add you to the page and let Clic Sargent know you are part of Team BW/RadBMX. We will all need to raise £300 as individuals, but by pooling the donations as a team effort if one falls short we hopefully will be able to cover him/her with a bit from elsewhere. Hope that makes sense and everyone agrees.

The site for donating is http://uk.virginmoneygiving.com/team/BW-RadBMX-4-Childrenwithcancer

PLEASE PLEASE share it with everyone, even if you aren't doing the ride you can still be involved with helping raise funds as part of TEAM BW/RADBMX.

Thank you.

Ok, I'm up for it and registered

griff · « **Reply #31 on:** March 21, 2012, 09:32 PM »

was going to say it shouldn't take you 10 hours.. but then if you all insist on using burners that's probably about right

joking aside though it's a great challenge and a great cause - hope you get good weather and the wind behind you

Quite surprised Paul is the only one to sign up on here, and he is 50% BW anyways. LOL

Anyone gonna take the plunge? We've got about a dozen over on BW with names down.......

I would love to do L2B but can't afford the travelling and time off work etc. I've bought the Gt Ormond St plates to use on BMXs for the Skyrides before but we need an iconic journey or destination really to raise funds. Is coast to coast realistic?

Nothing like a good thread hijack.... FOR THE KIDS DUDES................

sparkysx · « **Reply #36 on:** March 23, 2012, 09:45 PM »

Is everyone gonna be sticking together on this? As I'm not sure I'd know the way otherwise, and I guess it would be very boring on my own!

MaD-RoK · « **Reply #37 on:** March 24, 2012, 11:27 AM »

The plan is to ride as a posse.

Would be best to as you will need to keep each other motivated, it's funny how individuals flag at different times. As it'll be dark you dont want to get split up and lost

sparkysx · « **Reply #39 on:** March 24, 2012, 09:05 PM »

I run quite a bit, fairly long distances, so not worried about flagging, just want to stay with people as it would be a lot more interesting and fun than riding 58 miles on me todd!

How much do we need to raise individually? and how are the rest of you going about this? Also where are we starting and whats the route?

My Nan had Lung Cancer. my father in law had prostate cancer, and my wifes uncle has just had a tumor removed and her other uncle and aunt both also have had cancer in the past. My Dad worked with asbestos during his time in the Navy so thats also a worry in the future, suffice to say, I would like to do this!

Nevermind telling me the start time and place, I read the moonriders link!

MaD-RoK · « **Reply #41 on:** March 25, 2012, 01:38 PM »

We need to raise £300 each, plus registration for the ride which is £59. We have a pooled pot which is the link on the front page, so if one gets more and one gets less, as a team we will be covered. Some people are just raising their own funds though, but either way we will be doing it as a team. Main thing is to get signed up, we have a little over 3 months at the moment which will soon fly by. In the words of Horace: 'While we speak, envious time will have {already} fled. Seize the day, trusting as little as possible in the future.'
