    Sponsor me - charity kids ride

    My Mrs asked me if we could do this ride... No brainer, an excuse to ride and she's asking me to do it! It's also for a good cause.

    Last year we watched for a solid 15mins as every bike under the sun came down our street.

    Here's the info, maybe some of the locals may even want to ride too, it's only $30 I think even without sponsorship.

        A good way to spoil a nice ride...

        Lots of stopping & starting although I did get to hit 50 in a 35 riding with the cops at one point

        We raised about $200.
