Title: Calling All Velothon Riders
Post by: Steve Chapman on May 17, 2015, 08:32:42 PM

If you are riding the Velothon this year is anyone interested in joining me to raise money for charity?

This year i am riding both the Dragon Ride and Velothon for Bobath Wales. As my daughter has ceabral palsy and visits the centre from time to time i thought this would be a great way to thank them for the help they have given Tia and many other children across Wales.

You wouldn’t have to do much! just get a few friends and family to sponsor you and join TeamTia on Just Giving. Believe me nothing gets you more motivated than when you are riding for a charity.

If you would like to join the team please visit www.justgiving.com/teams/teamtia

Or if you would like to sponsor me please visit www.justgiving.com/stephen-chapman8/

Thanks
Steve C

Can't remember the rules for my sponsorship for dragon ride Steve (they on one of your rides as comment on strava)..but do hold me to it - rather than put something on here now I'll do it after dragon ride when I know what you've earned.

I thought I would add this here rather than bump another thread and overtake Steve's donation page.

Harpo says he has had an email with all his info, I've not had anything yet so here's all the online info:

Schedule:

Registration Pack Info:

Start Times:

Please note that those taking on the 140km distance will be set off in order of predicted finishing times, with the fastest riders starting earlier for safety reasons. Exact wave times will be available at the end of May.

I've got an 08:05 Start Time.....

Finally collected all the money raised, with help from Andy the total Team Tia raised was £1567.21

Tia and I took the rest of the money to Bobath today and they were very greatful.

Thanks again to everyone that sponsored us and to Andy Samuels for his help getting way over our £1000 target.  :)
