16 seater bike ride for Willen Hospice... 28th June

yes, you read right, a bike for 16 people!

The George Inn has organised a charity bike ride to raise money for Willen Hospice and are looking for volunteers to ride/collect money/be involved.. all for a very good cause.

You'll be riding the giant, 16 people bike from Little Brickhill through the city, threatre district and up to Willen, OR the return jouney ending at the pub. Either way there's a bit of uphill/downhill, though each seat has it's own gears and allows for a certain amount of lazy free-whheling of you're sat at the back..

complete with stereo, air horn and driver, it'll be luxurious. Picture to follow somehow.

The cost of hiring the bike is covered, all money raised will go straight to Willen (aiming to raise +£60 each rider).

Volunteers so far
Caroline (+Danny, but he doesn't know it yet!)
KSM
Phil
Arran
Andy S
Me & Gav
Nath

Excellent, thankyou!

Fizz, how many people do we need?

The more the better.. if you're not riding, how about helping collect money along the way?

Did I mention the bike had a streo and air horn??

I was kidding.........." How many people would we need for the 16 seater bike "......its called a 'Holgate' in the trade !!

Love you too Mr Thomas.

I'm up for it - count me in - not working that weekend

Excellent,

Iain, you can take Arran's place as he's a bit calendar dyslexic.. The more people the merrier as we have the just full 16, but I'm hoping for swaping with someone along the way!

Emma says everyone riding needs to be at the Geroge for a breifing at 11.45 aiming to arrive at Willen around 2.40 if anyone want's to see us there.

Or, bring you money and see us for a drink after in the sunshine!


F-mo

Give me a shout if you need another Fizz...........

Couldn't talk Danny into it I'm afraid. See you there.

Cheers Jase!

You're in!

Sorry have to pull out of Saturday...........nappies and baby sick and all tha !!

Sorry

Guys, we need you help - 3 people have pulled out of this charity ride and it's not much cop on a 16 seater bike if there are only 13 of you!

It's easy riding, sunny day, all for charity.. we'll even buy you a drink back at the pub.


You'll need to be at the George Inn Little Brickhill for 11.45am breifing - Please let me know if you can come, even for part of the ride..

I would but I've got Finley this weekend so not able to do it but will come and see you off

Would love to come along but have to work

.. we'll even buy you a drink back at the pub.

You mean we have to ride it back too

I only volunteered cos its down hill all the way to Willen

Hi Fizz,

Count me in......if I can find the place that is.

Has anyone got any photos of this contraption?

Is this it Fizz?

Well done to everyone who rode and Iain and Smeg who came to support us at the off... It was a very different kind of bike ride - hurtling down the A5 slip road was a terrifying introduction to quite an eventful day.

'Super strength Phil' broke his cranks in the first 5 mins, 'Freewheel Mike' became director with on bike camera, Jase, Caroline, Martin, Gav and Andy were the powerhouses of the bike pulling the back half of the bike along.. (there was definately a 'sweat divide')

Apparently we will be in The Citizen sometime this week, so keep an eye out..

Bring your sponsership money to the pub tonight and we will tell you more!

You forgot about the "bridge lower than height of bike incident"!!!!!!!!!!
