Hi Folks

I did this utterly amazing 50 mile race in the stunning Lake District last year and it was one of the most fantastic experiences of my life, for many reasons (starting with 'how far??', and moving on from there with all manner of expletives during the race).  

One of the most heartwarming things was how generous all the volunteers and racers were not only with their time but with their desire to raise money for charity, during what for the vast majority of them was a truly grueling event.  The race charity of choice's mission is a very special one, to give small grants directly to volunteer groups to purchase or hire equipment, resources or facilities to organise sporting or recreational activities for kids (it goes direct to the kids, no monies wasted on salaries, etc).  Lots of pictures on the website of talented kids getting bikes to race at quite serious levels, fantastic.

The Kidz would greatly appreciate anything you can contribute, and so would I.

Thanks All

Mike
