Sunday 29 May: RideLondon Free Cycle -LAST PLEA FOR MARSHALLS

The LCC have had to close sign ups for the RideLondon FreeCycle due to a shortage of marshals (except in boroughs where there are less than 50 sign ups). This is so they can keep the ride size to safe numbers. If you have friends or contacts who want to take part, they can sign up to be marshals. If they have a big sign up of marshals, they can consider opening some of the rides again. If you have friends, colleagues or contacts who are keen to join and they are confident cyclists, encourage them to sign up to volunteer marshal.

Helpers on bikes needed: Moonwalk 14th-15th May

Volunteer cyclists are needed to help with marshalling on the “Moonwalk” on 14th/15th May. Cyclists are essential because they can easily reach parts of the route that support vehicles can’t and are able to respond quickly to hotspots on the route where additional help is needed. It is a quite brilliant night out as well as helping to raise millions of pounds for Cancer charities (especially but not exclusively breast cancer charities). There are usually about 60 or 70 cyclists helping out. Cyclists do need to be over 18 – as they will be out and about on streets of London overnight.

Details here: https://walkthewalk.org/volunteer/moonwalk-london-volunteer
