Hi,

I wanted to enter the family bike ride for the charity unite which takes place in stoke this sunday.
Does anyone know if I can enter on the day, as I haven't pre registered, or where the rides starts from, so I know where to go.....

Have left numerous messages with unite - but no reply.

    Sorry mate I don't know. Can only say last year a pal of mine turned up for the Lancs Loop ride and registered there on the day. But that's not much to go on is it? Well perhaps my only help is to bump up your post so it doesnt fall on to another page!

    Looked into it. Can help now - you can either sign up on the Saturday 6am-9pm at Britannia stadium or on the Sunday from 7am (but bring cash to pay).

    Spoke to nice lady in fund raising dept of Prostate Charity. Hope you have a good time!

    What a great day this was.

    My two kids and wife were in tow so we only did the 20k ride. the admission was £5, what a bargain:-

    Free ordance survey map
    Free T shirt
    Free energy bars (as many as you wanted)
    Free lucozade - at the start finish , and at the stops
    free - pasta meal at the finish.

    There were also a selection of 'unusual' bikes, free to ride at the end, Rather worryingly I was taken with the Brompton , and the recumbents (am I getting old ?)

    Also lots of bike stalls, from felt, pinarello (drool, drool,),

    Would love to the full 145k next time.......

    Well done to my wife Sarah, who managed a sterling 8 miles...
