We are a bunch of friends and acquaintances, some of us met the first time out on the trails, and we've decided to try and ride the challenging Mary Towneley Loop offroad bridleway route in one day (Saturday 24 May 2014) to gather some funds in aid of the poor civilians and children caught up in the terrible war in Syria. The route involves 47 miles of testing terrain and over 7000 feet of climbing.

We have an ambitious target, and a 100% donation policy, not a penny of your donation will go towards support costs as we are supporting ourselves, so please donate with a big heart, and we will keep you informed as we perform the challenging ride and the help arrives with the needy. We are:
