I'm starting to put together something which I think is important - something I mentioned in a previous post.
Charlie Cunningham lives with Jackie Phelan, one-time top racer, and he contributed so much to the early years of design:

Unfortunately he suffered a life-changing head injury and continues to have a really hard time.

I think we should rekindle support for him a bit and do a 'Ride for Charlie'. This would take two forms:
A group ride on the South Downs - ancient and modern welcome - probably meet top of Ditchling Road at the National Park sign (can arrive by train in Brighton and just cycle up from Preston Park station) and ride across to Lewes and maybe more...could do a day ride to Eastbourne. Easy train back to Brighton or anywhere else. A donation of a fiver or more for Charlie.
A ride anywhere on the same day by yourself or with friends. Then just donate a fiver or more.
Not yet sure of dates - this is advance notice of the idea - probably be good to do late August or early Sept.
It would be good to get early idea of numbers, if there is interest in doing it.
