On Sunday 10th July, I will be joining an intrepid band of Manchester Friends of the Earth supporters cycling the 55+ miles from Manchester to sunny Blackpool to fundraise for Manchester FoE's and Love Your Bike's campaigning work.
The Love Your Bike campaign is co-ordinated by Manchester FoE so any support you can give will help LYB strengthen our campaigning for better cycling policies, infrastructure and practical support across Greater Manchester. (See the Love Your Bike website for information on the LYB campaigns)
It would be great if you could join us on the bike ride on Sunday or consider sponsoring me or the Manchester FoE team. All the Manchester FoE riders will be transported back to Manchester in style aboard a 1940's classic Big Red Bus (bikes downstairs, party upstairs!) so another great reason to join us on the day.
Details of the Manchester to Blackpool cycle ride organized by Bike Events available here.
Update (4th July). This just in from Bike Events
NO BIKES ON TRAINS:Trans Pennine Express, the train operator between Blackpool and Manchester, has informed us that they will not allow any bicycles on their trains on Sunday 10 July – the day of the ride. Their reason for this is that they have found in previous years that the restricted space available causes friction between cyclists.
Good job we have a big red bus to bring us all back to Manchester then !
