| Over the past few days we have had a few enquiries regarding the bike ride so we will answer the 2 main questions here.
Entry Fees
To enter the 2013 you have to pay a fee as follows. There is no option for a 'free ride'.
- Application & Bike Transport Home (if required) = £20
- Application, Bike Transport Home (if required) & Return Coach Transport = £30
Food is free to the first 150 riders, we ask you to let us know on the form if you do not want this option so we can fill all 150 places.
We collect these fees via PayPal to make applications as easy & quick as possible. PayPal take a 2-3% charge from these fees.
The fees are used to cover vehicle hire & fuel for the support team, refreshments on the day at the checkpoints, insurance and general fees associated with the ride. This allows us to give 100% of your sponsor money to the charities.
Sponsor Money
By entering the ride you agree to raise a minimum of £75 sponsor money to be divided amongst the charities.
Again there is no 'free ride', we have seen an increase of riders coming along for the day and not paying any sponsor money.
We have chased 120 riders from last year, we still have 73 non-payers (73 x £75=£5474).
This is money your charities will not receive. All non-payers are banned from future rides.
| Meeting
The committee will be meeting on Wednesday 14th November to start discussions on next years ride.
We will update the site with latest information as soon as it is available. We will also update our Facebook & Twitter pages.
Users of the Android App may get live updates from within the meeting dependant on discussions.
Sponsor Money
We still have over 100 riders from the last ride who have not paid any sponsor money, please check the Sponsor Checklist to make sure you are not one of them. If you think you are wrongly listed use the Contact Us page.
The committee will be deciding a way forward to try to get this money paid. We would like to thank all our riders who have made payments already, this is the largest amount we have collected in all the years we have been ride.
