Charity Ride to Fort William - Sunday the 11th of May

[RamDez]

Big Linz has asked me to post this up.

We are riding to Fort William on the 11th of May.
The charity benefits Cot Death. (SANDS (http://www.uk-sands.org/))

Sands is an organisation which can offer you support when your baby dies during pregnancy or after birth.
The death of a baby is a devastating experience. The effects of grief can be overwhelming and parents, their families and friends can be left feeling dazed, disorientated, isolated and exhausted.
It can be hard to take in information, to make decisions or to imagine how you are going to cope.
At Sands there are people who understand what it's like because many of us have been through this experience ourselves, and we are here to help offer support and information when you need it. If you want more info regarding this charity, follow this link to their web site (http://www.uk-sands.org/)


Thanks to ALL those who took part and
for those who gave moneys to the Charity

£525 was raised on the day.
Very well done to everyone

Away the weekend with the FuCHERS at Onich, but would love to meet you guys in Fort William for the run home and to hand over donation ( as long as its no p*ssing down otherwise its home asap) but will still hand over donation to Linz, :cool: Is that run home by Lochearnhead, Crieff Dez that your talking about, as thats a real nice run home ?
cheers Paul

[The Reporter]

Hi Dez,
We will be two on one glide for the 11th. (Aberdeen to Ft Will via Pitlochry = 172 miles)
Will meet at Drumgask

[The Reporter]

On the other hand it would be quicker and equally good riding via the northern route., coming in from Aviemore. So much choice for us alpine riders in the far north east

[Gogsy]

If ma leg ho'ds up A'll be there wi the wee wifey.
Cheers Lads 'n Lasses.

[Saltire]

Hi Dez

Cheers!

[The Reporter]

No change with us -11th Drumgask at the appointed time and possibly a couple of other HOGs with us! It takes a while for some of them to realise its time to get out and about.

Just did a last check on the weather and we are all good to go.

Edinburgh riders might get some rain when they start off, we might pass through a shower on the way up but its looking great for the run back.

See you all in a couple of hours. Ride safe :)
