Ok, fair enough, I only ask as...
You may remember last July I rode to Paris for charity... well, I'm signed up to do it again this year, and I'm taking Boy Wonder Stu with me, so I have a domestique
Anyhow, we each have to raise £1100 in sponsorship for the ride. £550 of which must be banked by the 1st of May. Now firstly I'm a little aversed to asking all the same people to give me another wedge of their cash for doing the same thing. So we have an Idea...
Maybe, just maybe...
We, I.e Addiscombe, well, obviously mainly Stu and I as organisers anyway, could run a sportive to raise money for the event, and the charity, Action Medical Research. [url]http://www.action.org.uk[/url]
What do people think?
We are both willing and able to put in the work to get things done. But neither of us really have the relevant organisational experience to do it ourselves. Perhaps the route could be similar to the tosh?
It would be great publicity for the club, and obviously great for the charity. I don't know how much these sportives make but it would surely be a great start for out fundraising?
Just thought I'd put this out to gauge peoples thoughts and ideas anyway. Maybe its too much, but I think It could fantastic to keep the Acc logo in the press, and would be a great way to attract more women into the club perhaps?
Gary Dodd rides it as do lots of other racing lads. If you're feeling really fit on the day, try and do it in under 2 hours.[/size]
