On our merry way through the Pyrenees last week, Les Veloistes Gentils came up with another bike-based charity event: 50km for £50. It’s hopefully one which might prove more accessible to a greater number of people than a 650km jaunt through the mountains but which should also be great fun.

The premise is simple. Buy and make roadworthy a bike for less than £50 and then join us on the morning of Saturday 29th August as we ride 50km around Regent’s Park and its environs. Collect sponsorship money for doing so and, after the ride, sell the bike and give that money to charity too. Easy.

More details will appear on the LVG Ning as they get arranged, so sign up and start searching eBay…
