Sponsorship Starts
Hardly has the weekend gone by, when Johnny rung to tell me the good news, not only has he already secured sponsorship of over £3000, but, we have sponsors for vans to help with the event itself and the offer of a couple of bikes for the events. The names, and big thank you's, to these sponsors will be published shortly.
Yet again a big thank you to Steve REDMORE, the manager of the Aberavon Shopping Centre, who has come up trumps with his massive offers of help and support for our events, more too come.
Click on the map to enlarge it, too see the route the cyclists will take. We will be starting from Portmeirion, which isn't far from Porthmadog, travel down the coast to about Cardigan and across Carmarthenshire, to Swansea and the Mumbles before heading for the Quins Club. Well that's the plan anyway.

Overwhelming
The support and offers of help so far for this project, has been overwhelming, but hardly surprising, knowing the community from where it has arisen. And all persons offering help and financial aid will be visited as the time unfolds.
Team Ruby
Ann DAVIES
Following the recent, sudden and sad death of a great friend to all who knew her, so tragically taken by cancer on the 28th March March 2007. It has been decided by a group of her friends, to do a sponsored bike ride from Portmeirion in North Wales to Aberavon, South Wales in her memory.
'Team Ruby' (The Team) as the participants of the ride will be called, after her nickname Ruby WAX and her favourite colour red, will ride the whole distance of approximately 250 miles over a five day period, camping the night on the way.
All monies raised during this adventure will be donated to the cancer ward at Bridgend Hospital, where she worked as a nurse and was nursed up until her untimely death.
Team Ruby's riders are currently being finalised, as are the other details such as feeding the team, personal and vehicular support for the riders, finalising accommodation, final route and hopefully sponsorship.
The ride will commence on Wednesday the 1st August, concluding at the Aberavon Harlequins ground on Sunday the 5th August, where hopefully, there will be a big turnout to welcome the riders home, culminating (fingers crossed) in a BBQ on the Quins.
Should all go to plan, the team should reach Cardigan on the Friday night, and a beachside camping area in Pendine on Saturday night, before completing the journey to the Quins via Mumbles on Sunday morning - "well that's the plan anyway".
The reason for a weekend completion, is too enable as many people as is possible, to join in along the route and share in what is going to, ultimately, be a very fulfilling journey.
There will be a lot of work, pain and training to be completed before the ride commences, will update soon.
