Ingredients for a 24hr - 300 mile bike ride.

My shopping bag won't fit this lot, so I'm hoping some of the other lads are going to nip into the 'Endurance Ride' super market and pick up some things . . .preferably fro free!


  1. 1 x Community room to start the challenge
  2. 10 x Training rollers or turbo trainers
  3. 10 x Team race clothing - Tee - shirts (with sponsorship adverts)
  4. 1 x Safety car + driver for road leg of race
  5. Assortment of sponsors to advertise (any donation for web and blog but £50 for tTee-shirts and banner?)
  6. 240 x 500ml bottles of sports replacement drinks
  7. 240 x Energy gels (Glucose/fructose)
  8. Assortment of bananas, flap jacks and chocolates
  9. Assorted replacement bike parts, inner tubes or spare bike for safety car
  10. A few multi frequency HH radios
  11. 10x local inflammatory gels (volterol)
  12. 10x travel size E45 cream
  13. Assorted first aid equipment and materials
  14. 1 x account to deposit donations it that can only be accessed by more than one team member
  15. Assorted monitory donations from local businesses to offset costs for riders (hopefully £200/300 should cover everything and ensure that riders do not incur personal costs
  16. 500/1000 A4 paper and envelopes for letters and promotion
  17. Printing costs for literature and letters
  18. Assorted raffle prizes (as many as possible and wide ranging)
I'm sure this is only the start of the list of things we need, but i know that we have a team of people that will make it happen. The face book page has been a great forum and we all talk pretty much every day and tell each other what, we're doing, what we've done and the developments we've made. 

All good in the hood!!!
