As you know, the humanitarian situation is increasingly dire and desperate. Millions of people have no safe place to call home. More than 2.5 million have already left Ukraine, while countless more are still trapped underground, taking cover from the shelling, and desperate for a safe escape.Red Cross teams have been working around the clock to get critical care to those who need it most, both in Ukraine and its bordering countries. But with recent freezing temperatures, and ongoing violence, an enormous number of people urgently need help right now.

Please donate as generously as you can!

26th March 2022 09.30-15.30, Pittville Pump Room,  Cheltenham

We want as many cyclists as possible to join us in the event on the day too.  We're going to do a virtual ride to Kyiv using static bikes/turbos/rollers. The route is around 1613 miles, so 16 of us would take around 6 hours, 50 of us would take 2 hours. Please come along and ride, or come and support us. In either case, bring some money to donate to this great cause.

The Cheltenham Trust will hold a cake sale at the same time to raise even more money. The ride will be featured on the Nicky Price show on BBC Radio Gloucestershire, with live updates throughout the morning.

It'd be great to mobilise all cyclists and clubs around the area, please spread the word around your cycling mates, come along and bring some money to donate to the British Red Cross Ukraine Crisis Appeal.

Hoping to see Cheltenham Town Wheelers - CTW , Velo Club Montpellier , Woodmancote Wheelers , Winchcombe Cycling Club , Steve At Velo Vitesse , Cheltenham Dame Road Cycling Club , CK Velo, Cheltenham CTC, Gloucester City Cycling Club Jolly Rouleurs Eastgate Cycles Ltd !
