Hi All,

A few work colleagues and myself are doing the London to Brighton Bike Ride on the 19th June 2005.

We are trying to get more money for this worthy cause this year, so if you are feeling generous would you mind sponsoring us a couple of pounds??

You don't know me or my work colleagues (as far as I know) but you all know The British Heart Foundation and the good work they do.

I don't want to force anyone, so if you don't want too, then that is fine.

You can support us by clicking this link www.bhf.org.uk/sponsor/teamgroupama/

Thank you for your support

Trevor

Just thought I would try one more time, as the ride is this weekend.

If you would like to sponsor us, then the link to do so is above.

Again thanks for any support given.

Sponsoring 2 already, but best of luck.
Ridden it myself on 3 occasions - best time about 2 1/2 hours, would have been better if it weren't for all the bottlenecks.
Hardest part is the ride up Ditchling Beacon - b*stard climb... The trip down the other side is good though.
Enjoy and hope the sun shines for you.

I did the first three back in the early '80s but then it got too huge -- too many bikes around me, too much policing and monitoring required, and it changed character.

Good luck anyway.

Not sure to be honest, they don't give the route out until you get to the start) but if we do, I'll look out for the brew! Can I have some biccies aswell!

If you are having a look as we go by, We will be wearing white Groupama Insurance T-Shirts, abit like looking for a Focus on the M25

Even worse if you are shunting trailers all day from Hackbridge to Croydon i.e right across the route. I promise to be careful if you will!!

Strange with all that torque you would think it be easy, short gearing ?
