Hi Nigel
Firstly, I live in Colwinston and have been cycling for about a year now. I’m thinking of joining, how do I do it?
Secondly, I work for City Hospice and one of our corporate supporters, Carter Lauren Construction is organising a bike ride from North Wales to South Wales on 14/15/16 May next year.
They are paying for everything from a coach to get everybody to North wales, vans to transport our bikes, cycling jerseys and support vehicles with drivers. The only thing that a person has to pay for is two nights accommodation at the Premier Inn Bangor and Aberystwyth (about £70 total). Do you think this would appeal to any of your members? They would have to raise sponsorship for city Hospice.
Information on the Actual Charity Ride Weekend:
Meeting point on Friday 14th May 2021 will be at our finishing point so we can park up our cars ready for the Sunday finish.
On Friday 14th May we shall be meeting at Rhoose car park at 3pm, where we will load our bikes and gear into the provided vans.
We will then be transported by coach to our accommodation at the Premier Inn, Bangor, where we shall have a good night’s sleep in preparation for an 8.30am start.
The coach will leave the Premier Inn at 7.30am on the Saturday and take us to the starting point (Llanbadrig, Cemaes Bay LL67 0LN). At this stage the coach will leave us so please make sure your luggage and any other items are on the support van at this point.
The route will be marked out by our support drivers by leaving markers and they will be waiting for us every few miles. The route will be marked with white marker spray (small arrows) or corex brightly coloured arrows.
There will be designated stop points where was shall replenish our fluids, bottles and nutrition throughout the ride off the support vehicles. These vehicles will also be carrying overnight bags and electrolyte drinks or nutrition for you to use during the ride. You may also take your own drinks/nutrition for top ups.
If, at any point, you may need help or encounter a mechanical issue, please call the support vehicle on the numbers provided.
We are aiming to do this ride together so if groups are slightly quicker or slower we will be stopping regularly to regather into the one group ( we shall be trying to ride at the slowest person’s pace, it is not a race but we need to get everyone to the finish line)
The link below is a google map link which will take you to the meeting point car park on the Friday:

On our return to Rhoose, we would be met by friends and family for a celebration – to be sorted
Do you think this might appeal?
