Send in your forms for this year
I've been sending out a press release this morning.
Action Medical Research has put out a plea for riders to return their registrations for its 24th annual Action 100 bike ride on Sunday August 29 as soon as possible. This not only helps the charity to plan, but eases workload on the volunteer registrations officer, Roy Clarke.
They had just over 300 registrations up until last Saturday - around 15% up on the same time last year, but have sent out around 6000 registration forms already this year. But registrations from Bath, which are normally really healthy, are down.
Traditionally, they get inundated with registrations in the last week. Last year, 450 cyclists rode, raising over £52,000. At this rate, over 200 applications will be returned over the next two to three weeks, all of which volunteer Roy has to process in his spare time.
They're concerned that people will forget - they had five outsized banners around Bristol as reminders last year. This year they’re down to three.
(The Action 100 bike ride challenges ordinary cyclists who are prepared to cycle 100 miles for Action Medical Research and I'm doing it next year because I'm too unfit this year)
Anyone wishing to take part in the Action 100 Bike ride on Sunday August 29 should contact Roy Clarke on 0117 970 6348 or visit http://www.action100ride.org.uk/.
