Me again,
Myself and a couple of friends are planning to ride to Brussels, just for the hell of it, and partly because I failed to gain entry to the Amstel Gold sportive as it's run by idiots. It's a distance of 100km.
I was thinking that we might as well raise a bit of cash for charidee while we're at it, so can anyone recommend a worthy cause, say for example one which provides bikes to developing countries or supports promising riders?
Cheers,
Steve

The Dave Rayner fund?
A young lad who rides with us has just got funding. He's away to Belgium this year to cut his teeth.0 -
In cycling plus i read about a great charity, re-cycle. The charity accepts donated bikes and ship them over to Africa and give them to school children so the can get to school. The site says so fr over 36000 bikes have been shipped over!

How about cyclists fighting cancer ( http://cyclistsfc.org.uk/ ) They provide bikes for children whose lives have been affected cancer. Seems like a good cause to support.0
