In Scotland, the government for the main Air Ambulance service.
Now, what do you know about the ones in England?
Do try and do a little research yourself, seeing that you're the one who's apparently going to all this effort for it . |

So you keep saying. Repeatedly.
I don't really mind about the chaaaridy aspect, but here's the thing.
As it stands, your site gives one date, which presumably is the start date. It gives a vague start location: John O'Groats. It still says "no engine too small". If you've imagined some minimum speed limit then you've done a piss poor job of communicating that.
It doesn't give:
Duration / end date.
Route plan.
Miles per day / hours per day.
Hotels and camping sites at the planned stops.
Your name or contact details.
The promised fliers.
And links to donation sites or sponsorship resources.
You've written a lot about what you're going to do, but shown very little about what you've actually achieved.
If you want people to book... some... days off work to join in, then you need to make it look as though the ride is properly planned and is definitely going ahead.
As it stands, I'd expect you'll spit your dummy some time in May or June, blame the naysayers for our negative waves, man, and call the whole thing off in a hissy fit.
And now to our regularly scheduled memepics.

Please read the ratings guidelines.
And apologies to the people's who's correct ratings I just unintentionally revoked . (Alt-tab, click, alt-tab, click may be quick, but entirely foolproof!) |

cut off date for registration is june 1st. email bigrideout@yahoo.co.uk to register. need name, email, bike, pillion and age. payment for accommodation will be due on the 2nd of july. we'll book it when we know numbers mid june and let you know prices.
this is an easy charity ride out. not knee down peg scraping. we're aiming to avoid motorways but we may not be able to completely. there will be a central charity 'pot' to donate to.
we will have a van with us in case of breakdowns but you will need your own recovery. |
So you're going to be wanting money from people taking part? Nice... real nice.
There's no reason why you'd need to go on motorways. If you haven't managed to work out a non-motorway route yet then your ride is going to go more wrong than previously thought.
And "there will be a central charity pot" suggests that you've still not sorted out your justgiving page or suchlike. Surely that should be one of the first things you do when you start to organise some type of charity event? |

Thanks to Mongman for rating my sarcastic post about going racing as 'abusive'.
You sir, are obviously of very high intelligence to be able to fully and correctly comprehend the meaning of the word 'abusive'.

Given that the recipients were an afterthought, I'd imagine that what's really going on is that OP just doesn't feel comfortable about having a jolly unless it's to the tune of a can being rattled.
However, that doesn't preclude my assessment from being correct.
I honestly do wish him the best of luck and hope that he has a great time; my major concern-troll is other participants being left in the lurch. ____________________ Biking is 1/20th as dangerous as horse riding.

So out of all the people who've registered for this event, I wonder how many of them aren't me. |
