General Update 4th May 2012

Coach's

  • As it stands today, there are only 20 places left for the coach. If you want to ride, and need the coach- HURRY. Places can be registered here.
  • We are looking for a 2-5pm collection of the bikes- this will be confirmed- from Golden Coast, Roundswell, Barnstaple.
  • The coach's will then leave 6am sharp from North Devon Leisure Centre car park.

Sign Up

  • The closing date for sign up for the ride is set as 7pm 29th May 2012. There are no late entries available; so once again, if you want to sign up- HURRY!

Stops

  • The ride will start at Looe Harbor- the closest post code for those with GPS is PL13 1AT. The start being besides the life boat house. It's a great location.
  • The morning stop will be at Coads Green village hall, opposite the methodist hall, along the B3257.
  • The lunch stop will be in Holsworthy town car park, just off of Western Road. This is an obvious location, as it is the part most people think of when they consider Holsworthy.
  • The afternoon stop will once again be at Torrington Bike Hire, on the Tarka Trail (next to puffin billy).
  • The finish will be again along the Strand, Barnstaple. Those who have rode the 2010 event will remember the potential of this finish- this year, it will be 3 times bigger and better.

Menu

We are very pleased to announce our food will be provided by Lush Food Company at all three stops. The menu will be-

Morning Tea & coffee (other hot drinks will be available if needed i.e. hot chocolate fruit tea or decaf tea & coffee)
A packet of biscuits(3 in each)
Cup of squash 2 flavours

Dinner A really good crantock Cornish steak Pasty (Vegetarian option to)
Packet of crisps choice of flavours
Chocolate bar Mars or Kit Kat
Apple or Banana
Carton of good quality Juice
There will be Napkins and either a take away bag or Plate available

Afternoon Amazing Muffins (double chocolate or blueberry)
Cup of Squash
Bag of mixed Haribo Sweets
Plus Any any thing left from previous stages will be available

 

This is a great menu for all the riders, and we feel this will offer quality and value for money.

Also, there will be water available from each stop.

The finish will offer a barbecue and drinks (beer!!), which can be purchased at your leisure.

Bags

As before, there will be a Hospice van to carry your bags from the start to the finish. These bags will also be accessible at THE LUNCHTIME STOP ONLY.

We hope this this section answers most of your questions at this stage.

2012 Roadie Roles 21st April 2012

WE NEED YOU!!

Each year as the ride grows,
it requires more and more support from different people to ensure
that it stays the great event you are used to.

This year we have decided to reflect the help provided by the creation off a role-
a ROADIE-
with specific roles and a reflection of the great work the volunteer gives.

No role will be too onerous,
and will make a real difference to the success of the event.

In return, you will receive a rider goody bag AND a
limited edition 2012 Roadie tee shirt to show off to all your friends!

Coach Places released 1st March 2012

We are pleased to announce that we have again arranged coach
transportation from Barnstaple to the start on the day.

Just Giving Pages 29th February 2012

Another great- and simple- way to raise money for the event is to use the
Just Giving Website.

This allows you to collect the money in a quick and easy format,
and ensures the funds go directly to the Hospice after the event,
so you don't have to run around chasing up people.

Another advantage is that it builds momentum for your fund raising for the event-
people can pass on your link to other's,
and helps increase how easy it is to bring in the funds.

Rider Darren Smallbone has done just that-
have a look at his page as a great example
