[quote="Jojo"]All it sounds to me is a way of raising money for a developing cycle club that you are closely associated with (looking at the website) It also says "We have a growing membership fuelled by our dynamic and growing local and national economy. Cycling is a growing interest here as people progress from cycling for necessity to cycling for recreation and the local conditions are ideal".
Sounds like they need organisational help rather than money.
...sounds the same to me too, that's why I quite like the idea. Mirror it with some kind of support for something back here too and it looks cool to me. I bet the money some folk here spend on a pair of wheels would probably kit half this lot out for a year?? If cycling is a growing interest over there, well let's help them grow it a bit more eh? Wouldn't it be excellent if we could help them fund a sponsored ride or something? Not sure the distance twixt here and there lends itself to us providing organisational support.
Alan - if you can get the nod from committee to work this up into a plan and do, then I'll help out. Perhaps a meet up in a croydon pub w wifi to do some planning/scoping??
