Ride for Hope?

Does anyone know anything about this? I've searched for it but can't find anything.
Last night when I was driving home* I passed a lot of cyclists wearing blue "Ride of/for Hope" jerseys, they were heading from Nottingham towards Derby in groups of around 20 or so. I think I passed about 4 or 5 such groups, mainly on the pavement or side of the road as if waiting for something, possibly each other; it looked a lot like the local chaingang assembling.
This morning my wife found them during her commute to work, she wasn't best pleased as she said they were causing mayhem. :roll: They certainly seem to have picked some odd times to be on the road.
Edit:- The only thing I've found that seems relevant was this facebook page....

and from that I found this
http://www.barncancerfonden.se/engagera-dig/event/ride-of-hope-europe/
and it starts to make some sense
However, it seems odd that an organisation raising money is quite difficult to find, and doesn't court publicity.
* I wished them luck. Last night was the local "Drive like a prat night", I don't know what the hell had got into people (getting home for Wimboredom maybe?) , but it was dangerous to be on the road.

The older I get, the better I was.
