Well done Gary, this is really gathering momentum from what started as a bit of a dream a couple of months ago. I am sat in the airport lounge and really looking forward to getting home tomorrow, so I can get a bit more involved. Training will start over the Christmas break, and all in all I'm really looking forward to the event.

Firstly, great news, we have hit one of the key milestones for Dec, raising over £350 from forum members so that I can claim a matching donation of £350 from Vodafone, we'll done guys and girls.
Keep the donations coming please as we'd love to get ever closer to that £5k target.
We also have 2 fantastic prizes donated for the after ride auction to be held at the Beer and Natter. See supporters thread for details

Good stuff Gary, keep it coming. I need to sort out my Justgiving page, but too much time at work atm.

Great news! The first major target has been achieved with donations now sitting at an amazing £500. That's 10% of our overall target to achieve a total of £5000 by June.
Next target is to reach £1000 and remember you can donate via 3 team member pages (more pages will be added) which I am sure the other guys would appreciate.
See the summary thread for details of how to donate and don't forget you can also donate up to £10 via txt messaging, there's a separate thread within this event section showing you how to.

Hi Gary. Trying to set up my Just Giving page, and I am struggling to join. I can't find the BikeForCharity event in the BHF section. Any clues what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks Gary, have tried this, but I am not getting the same pages as Howard's idiots guide. I seem to get hung up at the point of joining an organised ride or a personal event. Have tried both. On the organised event option, I cannot find "BikeForCharity" for some reason. Maybe because I am on the iPad not a PC? Will try it from a laptop later.

LATEST NEWS:
We now have 4 team members that have created Just Giving pages and hopefully Paul will have his up and running soon making it 5. This is great news as the more we have created, the more potential we have for hitting our desired target of £5k. Can I ask those that have their names on the list to consider doing likewise please, the sooner you do, the more donations you're likely to receive which after all, is the reason why we're doing this :encouragement:
I've added the guide to creating your page and joining the team on the Summary Information sticky.. I have also added a link to our team Strava page should you wish to use that to help track your progress during training and log your times on the day of the event.
cheers Gary

Have a good one. I rode yesterday, legs were tired last night, so a day off today. May go tomorrow or Wednesday. We're down on the Sarf Coast on Tuesday, catching up with the folks. Actually I need to pop down to Rafiki this week to, for a general check over and tidy up.
