Charity scooter run for Afghan Heroes

This will be some time over the next few weeks probably early July. Likely to be a weekend. Date to be finalised soon. The idea is to ride from Gloucester to Chepstow and back. All in aid of Afghan Heroes. £5 per scooter. Max 125cc. Also people are encouraged to get sponsored too.

Not sure of the exact route, this is open to discussion. Posibly Start at Westgate, down the A48 to Chepstow. Then either accross the bridge (via the footpath or in a van) and back along the A38 to Westgate (or Glosbikespecialists for repairs! ) If we are not going over the bridge it might be return via Tintern and the forest.



It will certainly be a challenge for some of us.

Please post below if you want to join me on the event.

Les.

have you started without us les XXMWAH " hmm to be honest that's a lot of mileage for a bunch of 50 cc's its gonna take hours believe me" getting to bunny could be a struggle
Just a thought on a route thats, if its still up for ideas ,,,, maybe Eastnor castle , bike stop c/p at malvern camp then round to upton on severn to a riverside pub then home ........ wat ever gets the go i cant wait , maybe shove a poll up on any more routes that get put up, and its a privilege to have this in aid of our Heroes well done , .......

Firstly let me say thanks so much for choosing the Afghan Heroes as your charity. I really appreciate that together with all the support I get from you all.

The Upton route sounds better to me, allbeit that I am only a useless blonde female!!! The Chepstow Triange is a good route but I agree with what Plaz says about how long it will take also dont forget that legally you cannot ride anything under 125 on a motorway and certainly not able to use either of the bridges.

If anyone wants sponsorship forms let me know I do have some available.

Thanks again

OK, I am happy with the Eastnor route too. Although I don't know that route so won't be able to lead.

Anne can I have a sponsor form once we have agreed the details. Cheers.

Les.

Will let you have a sponsorship form as soon as I can Les.

Hi Les, as my scooter only does 30miles an hour, how long is this going to take,or would I be better off going to work.
Jo

Hi Jo,

don't know exactly how long. I think we will be out for most of the day, with a lovely stop for lunch. It would be great if you could join us. Keep watching this forum as we sort out the details soon. Also make sure you give us your opinions too.

Les.

Damn! I let an 80's Suzuki thing go on ebay yesterday..... only £60 too! There's a nice Honda Camino on there at the mo.... might have to have a good look at GBS stock next time I'm there.

Count me in if I can find a set of wheels!

has my posting been removed.YET AGAIN!!!!!!

No, I checked the mod logs and no post has be deleted. Sure you didn't press preview and then forgot to press sumbit?

Easily done mate. Please repost your comment.

Les.

Is this run open to J4R members only or are we going to include others also?

My thoughts are that we should keep to J4R and close friends. Given the support for Afghan Heroes we could find it getting to big to handle. It could be a trial run for something a bit larger next year.

What do others think?

Les.

august would be better,not a lot going on then.
dont forget our bbq dates as this could be the first or second weekend in july.
can change the dates if required.

Hi

Yep I agree you lead Plaz I think I might be near the back

Regards Strongbow

Only problem with the Red Lion at Wainlodes is that B I G hill on the way home from the pub!!!!

Michelle told me RF that you can do it on anything, anytime
