Lampy’s Charity Challenge!
In recent years I’ve combined my hobby/life long illness (bikes) with raising money for charity. I have a theory that whatever and however we ride, to have a destination and purpose encourages us to get our bikes out and we feel much happier. So I’m ‘challenging’ everyone to take part and hopefully motivate some memorable trips. The idea is that I and a few mates select a destination somewhere in Britain (with the owner’s approval of course). You then go there by whatever route you choose, either by yourself or with mates, whenever you decide during 2017. You will score points for various features of your trip, such as mileage, age of bike, amount raised for Cancer Research UK and others. A full list of these point scoring features will be with the entry form. You then do the trip (hopefully with sponsorship for the charity), send us the money raised (no minimum or maximum) with the completed entry form back to me by the end of 2017. We forward the money to CR UK, score your trip and announce the heroes who did best. If you enter as a team the total score of the team will be divided by the number of members. We are still sorting out details but you can express your interest in entering by emailing me at glampkin@btinternet.com or ringing 01282 862749 in the evening. We hope to have a website soon.
