A message from Dan Wiggins:
Happy New Year to you all.
There could not be a better way to work off the festive excesses than by joining us in this year’s cycle ride around East Anglia and raising much needed money for the Brain Tumour Research Campaign. We are planning a five day, fundraising ride starting on Saturday 28th April and finishing on Wednesday 2nd May.
We will be cycling in the region of 50 miles per day, starting in Peterbourgh and bed and breakfasting in Hunstanton, Cromer, Beccles & Ipswich finishing in Cambridge. There are good train links to many of the places on route. (Peterbourgh, Kings Lynn, Ipswich & Cambridge). As per the previous years it is an amateur cycle ride with plenty of stops and refreshments on route. Our much appreciated support crew will carry luggage from the morning to the evening location. Whilst it will be testing it should be fun.
We ask each cyclists to raise or donate a minimum of £50 to BTRC either by setting up their own Just Giving account, by taking sponsorship from any contacts they may have or any other innovative way of raising money (JB 2010!). If you are interested I can provide you with a sponsor form. In 2010 we raised in excess of £60,000 and in 2011 just over £20,000. Details on how this and other money has been spent and the reasons for raising these funds can be found on the BTRC website www.wayahead-btrc.org or my rather outdated and soon to be re-freshed web site www.mindovermiles.org
At the beginning of March my parents and I will drive the route to gather B&B information and look for suitable stopping points.
If you are interested in joining the ride and would like to cycle with us for either one or two days or for the whole event please let me know by either e mail dan.wiggins@btinternet.com or by phone. 01932 244 337 or 07901 971 974. This ride is open to everyone, people who have cycled with us in the past two years and newcomers. Please spread the word to anyone who you think maybe interested.
Looking forward to hearing who will be joining us this year.
Best wishes,
Dan
