Message for Karen Jones, Northern Lights Charity:
Hi All
Many thanks for registering an interest at Eureka Café for our Cycle to Lapland fund-raising event, I have attached a couple of newsletters for your information (click links below):
We are at the stage of allocating time slots to anyone who would like to help us with this event, as a reminder we are trying to cycle the equivalent distance from Neston to Kittila in Lapland which is a total of 2,235 miles on turbo trainers during the following times at Cheshire Oaks:
Friday 23rd November – 10am – 7pm
Saturday 24th November – 9am – 5pm
Sunday 24th November – 10am – 5pm
We require 5 cyclists per hour and hope to average about 20 miles each making a total of about 100 miles per hour, therefore we estimate that we can complete this ride within 24 hours over the three days.
We are not asking anyone to collect sponsorship for the event, but hope to collect funds in buckets during the ride from the shoppers who will be at Cheshire Oaks at the beginning of their busy time for Christmas. We do however have a Text Giving number and an online website collecting funds so hope you may be able to encourage friends and colleagues to either come along to the event to support you or to donate via these means as follows:
Text NLCC25 £5 to 70070, or click on the following link to donate using your credit or debit card via – https://mydonate.bt.com/events/cycletolapland/90424
On the day, if you are one of the riders who can take part on the Turbo Trainers we will require the following:
- A road bike!
- A computer on the rear wheel of your bike so we can capture and collate the number of miles ridden
- To attend at the allocated times as without a guaranteed 5 riders per hour we will struggle to make the distance
Or if you would like a slot on the exercise bike:
- To attend at the allocated time in suitable clothing for cycling
We will provide:
- Water for while you are riding
- Tea, coffee and biscuits while you are on a break
- Goody bag to take away with you after the event
Please can you confirm the times when you would be available, we can do this as one hour on and one hour off if you want to do multiple hours or you can commit to a longer period of continued riding if you want. Hopefully we will be able to allocate the times you would like, but if they get overbooked we will come back to you with an alternative as close to the times you have selected.
