I will make sure that Carole has the details. Deena/Mavis will look out for you at the MacRide although we are only doing the 25 mile route (after all we still have another year to train!) will wear W4W top.

Ann, look forward to seeing you - it's been ages. Mavis xx    Report

09-04-2008, 14:17 Sezmo Joined on 07-23-2007 Maidenhead Posts 96 Big day First of all - money is in! £250 short but it's been pledged just not paid and W4W are fine with that...I NEVER thought I'd raise that much money! But I did (with alot of help from friends and family) Now we can concentrate on riding and getting ready! Maybe the weather will play ball one day...Thank God for Spinning! Mavis you mentioned W4W tee shirts - should we have received those by now? I know they wanted to get them out before the training weekend...next weekend! Is anyone eles staying in the Youth Hostel? My husband is dropping me off there on Friday evening on his way to his parents' with the kids - so I will be stranded there. I can get a cab to the start of the ride (which is 7 miles away) - but if any of you guys were there with transport maybe I could cadge a lift? But the main reason why it is a big day for me is that my little boy, Sam, started school today! I am so proud - he is so grown up and was such a little star...just about to go and pick him up! Looking forward to meeting some of you next weekend.... lol, Sezmo xxx www.justgiving.com/sarahwilmshurst    Report

09-04-2008, 14:45 novia Joined on 09-30-2007 Posts 24 We've done it! phewwww! My sister in law have raised over 6k so we have both got our money in hoorah! I don't come on here that often I'm afraid, but was wondering who was on the 2nd ride? It's such a relief having the money in. I was getting really anxious. It's been such a lot of hard work for us all but I'm sure you agree...very rewarding when you get there. Another question for you all though...we have actaully raised more than 6k and money keeps trickling in, especially on the web page. Do you think what we've raised above 6k could be put towards our taxes? It's just we both might struggle a bit...what with the hard times upon us and all that! x www.justgiving.com/helenandcarlacyclecuba    Report

Novia, I'm still booting to get the rest of the money for airport taxes, weather permitting!Congratulations for getting there, what a relief. Sarah (sez) there are are quite a few of us staying at the hostel, our plan is to bike to the meeting point at Lower Quinton. Bit of a warm up! your quite welcome to join us, and before you panic, yes we do know the way and how long it'll take to get there. How exciting about your son's first day at school. Did you get lots of photo's? It's my son's 19th birthday today. He nearly always went back to school on his birthday. Mavis/Deena/Ann, I'm gutted that I'm missing this ride, could really do with it but not to worry. If I get out before anyone wakes up I should fit in about 10 miles on sunday. Thanks for the good wishes Mavis, peeked at your page. Well done xx Donna xx www.justgiving.com/donnacadycuba    Report

I'll have to see if I can fit my bike into the car...along with 2 kids, hubby and all the kit they need for a weekend! I'll let you know! Just got completely drenched and cut my ride short - only managed 3 miles, the heavens opened and cycled the 3 miles home in the pouring rain - I'm a weather forecaster and I couldn't miss the blooming rain! And tomorrow is going to be REALLY pants!!! S www.justgiving.com/sarahwilmshurst    Report

There was hardly a break today in the rain so no cycling this end.... and won't even try to go out tomorrow then. Donna xx www.justgiving.com/donnacadycuba    Report

Any money that I collect from now on i.e carboots etc. I am putting towards the taxes. All the extras mount up and I don't want to have to find too much myself. Deena    Report

I think it certainly does make sense to continue raising funds to cover expenses, etc. Sezmo, I had requested some T shirts to do my collection at work, but have had no response. I haven't received any for the training weekend either, perhaps they'll hand them out on the ride. Donna, it's not going to be the same doing the Mac ride without you. I'm feeling so out of it at the moment, I hope I can keep up with Deena. The route is pretty much the same as the one we did on the Action Medical ride. Perhaps we could have another go at it before Cuba. Mavis xx    Report

Its a very flat and pleasant 6ish miles (maybe a little more.....) to Lower Quinton. I'm hoping to get to the hostel for around 6.30pm with Deena, what station will you be arriving at and what time? do you need picking up? Tried to get a long range forecast, but a bit useless, Sarah (Sez) can you help out on this? Good to hear that you can get your bike in the back of the car. Clare, I can't imagine that little dot of a daughter of yours starting school, bet you were in floods of tears! Sarah(M) have you cancelled your disco? If so will you be able to make the first day of cycling? Not that we'll miss you of course!! Oh, and put £10.00 of tickets aside for me, I could do with an extra chance of winning a real DIAMOND necklace...... I'll donate on jg. Is it still raining on everyone............
