We are delighted to be back to our full 100 Mile Cycle in 2022, raising funds to provide much needed emergency relief for our supported projects in developing countries.
Your safety is our highest priority. All cyclists must respect and strictly comply with the public health guidelines and other restrictions in force. It will be very important that each cyclist takes full responsibility for their own safety as this is not possible for the Club and our junior members will need appropriate adult supervision, preferably within the same family where possible.
We can make a real difference and provide emergency relief to help improve the lives of those who are most profoundly affected during this time of crisis. You can read about some of our previous WW Mission Trips by clicking here.
All donations, whether you cycle or not, will be gratefully received!
