To All Members

I would like to announce that next year I am proposing a three day Charity Bike Ride from Sines to Silves Golf Club. I realise most of you think I am deranged in trying to propose this to such an elderly membership!!!! However, so far there are a few members already who are ready to take on the challenge. The Proposed Agenda is as follows:- 

• Date 2/3/4 May2017

• Day One - Sines to Aljezur (Approx 80k) Night Stay in Hotel/B&B
• Day Two - Aljezur to Praia da Luz via Sagres (Approx 60k) Night Stay in Hotel/B&B
• Day Three – Praia da Luz to Silves Golf Club (Approx 50k)

Obviously, the objective is to raise as much money as possible for the Captains Charity which will be advised as soon as possible.

Currently we have started a training regime where we hope to have at least one ride a week to get our old legs moving and makethe experience much more enjoyable!!! I will run a blog on SdM Website to update the members of our progress to top fitness. (Our first training ride was last Wednesday when we completed 44 km in just over 2 hours and Ray Groves who had not been on bike for 12 YEARS!! finished it without complaint.)

 I would be delighted if you could join us on this trip, so, if you would like to sign up for this madness please email me as soon as possible. Due to logistics the numbers have to be limited to 25.

Finally, as this trip will need assistance from a logistics point of view, volunteers for mechanics, car back up and massages etc will be required. So if you think you can help in any way please let me know.
