My company Autotrail are holding a 24 hour sonsered endurance ride for charity, The chosen charity is cancer uk, The ride wil take place around willingham woods on the 27th June at 12pm and finish on 28th June at 12pm. It would be grate if we could get some of the lads from Trailblazerz to do this and try to raise as much as we can for the charity. The ride will be 2 in each team and done as a relay. For more details contact me.

fragy

burnsy
13-05-09, 18:06
right i have had a word with the lad doing it and he said would would b ok to to have more in a team as long as you all take a sponser from or donate a little to the charity. hoping for a 7 to 8 mile route just got to clear the route with wolly. prob take 40min to an hour at a guess.

Chris.C
13-05-09, 18:34
sorry. what i meant was where does the route go??

burnsy
13-05-09, 20:39
not 100% sure yet, got to confirm it with wolly because there are certain public footpaths that we can not use. but when it is all confirmed you will all get a map and its going to b sign posted.

i might consider doing it.. possibly... maybe.. can i join your team?
/me blows the dust of his old bike
unless they need a marshall and i can ride my motorbike around ;)

Burnsy if you get/have a flyer or anything for the event, we would be happy to advertise it on our homepage.

Will also mention it to a few ppl at work who might be interested.

True Saxon
14-05-09, 19:38
so.. a few ppl at work might be intrested also, i have been asked to ask
i) are solo entries permited? ie a 1 man team?
ii) how much of the sponsorhip money actually goes to charity?
iii) is there a camping/base camp area?

if you can let us know the full details as soon as you have them as time is running out. cheers.

True Saxon

lol.
the guy who asked about solo entry for him and possibly a mate or two is an IronMan athlete (hardcore triathlon) when i say ironman, i mean that literally... he is currently training for a triple iron man. im not sure on the swimming or cycling distance but the running equates to 3 full marathons :eek:

mr fish
15-05-09, 22:22
after a some thought and a chat with Burnsy, i reckon the club should be more involved with this event, its at our gig and its a really good cause etc
what do ya reckon?

Rick Brown
16-05-09, 05:22

there is not going to b any lighting other than your bike lights rick and at the fc office. fish said he didnt think wolly would have a problem with putting a tent up if you really want. we didnt ask because was only going to have 2 in a team so not much time to sleep.

True Saxon
19-05-09, 07:36

Any idea how many will be doing it?
When can we get the sponsor forms?

Couple more questions:
Is there an entry fee or anything or is that covered by the sponsorship stuff?
also, if a team want to take part but not seek sponsorship, whats the charge?

Cheers.

True Saxon
26-05-09, 18:17
Right Click <HERE> (http://www.trailblazerz.net/images/TS/Sponsor.pdf) to download a sponsor form in .pdf format.

burnsy
27-05-09, 11:48
there is no entry fee and we ask is for the rides that dont want to seek sponsorship to make a donation to the charity.

i may have a team together for this

True Saxon
04-06-09, 07:28
any more info on course etc?

burnsy
04-06-09, 21:35
fish has got the map with the route on. Ment to be taking it to wally when he gets 5 mins to see if there is any way he can make it a bit longer for us. think there is going to be a small fee per rider because each rider has to be insured. it will only b 2 to 3 pounds so im told.

mr fish
05-06-09, 07:18
i saw Wally yesterday, and there is some scope to expand the course, i will be seeing him next week to finalise the route ;)

burnsy
05-06-09, 13:50
thats spot on fish thanks alot for doing that for us.

burnsy
10-06-09, 18:59
right im needing the teams names of the people that are doing the race please, because some people are starting to back out now its getting close. and if anyone is needing forms or anything can you let me no.

mr fish
12-06-09, 16:44
insurance is being delt with, BC eventually got back to me :rolleyes: today

True Saxon
23-06-09, 17:26
Hopefully, the club can get a little involved and we can turn this into a quality event, with plenty of entrants and raise a ton of money for Cancer Research.
Let me know if theres anything i can do.
