Event Details
Calshot Velodrome
Pudsey on Track 2010 19th-20th November
The event this year will start at 17:00hrs on Friday 19th of November to finish 17:00hrs on Saturday 20th November.
Each team is to appoint a leader to carry the bear. The leader will be issued with the Yellow Bear Jersey and will need to have a computer fitted to their bike. (It would however be useful if all riders where to set up computers on each bike )
Cost of Involvement
The objective of this event is to present Cycle Racing in a positive light and raise money for a high profile charity. Your entry registration fee is £20 per rider payable as you sign on in the track centre or send to the Lord Puds in advance.
Sponsorship
Your registration fee is only part of the fundraising - down load the sponsorship form and get to work on your own sponsors. Most people will sponsor the event for a set figure but to give your self a target how about setting a mileage target for the team. Your team will be riding 3x1 hour shifts. How tough are you? Will you cover 67 -69-70 -73- 75 miles ask your sponsors to give a little extra if you hit the target. How about a personal target? Maybe like the Lord Puds you will be in Superfast Company and need to take a few laps out. Set a personal target LP's will be 68 miles. If you fit a computer to your track bike even if you take a few laps out to recover you will have your own record of how far you rode. With 8 teams of an average of 8 riders if we all bring in £100 of sponsorship we will raise £6,400 ! We should be aiming to raise £1,000 per team. If you push as hard with sponsors as you will on the track £10,000 should be feasible.
On- Line donations
A Just giving site will be set up linked from www.tmracing.org.uk. (See [Donations] link at the top of this page). You could set up your own web site. Iif you do, then give us the address so we can link it in to your team detail section of the web site.
