It's going off like a frog in a sock this weekend! The Cycle Show got underway yesterday with Jo and Toby securing lots of exciting freebies and new contacts with the big cheeses in the cycling world, who are all fighting each other to get involved in our cycling programme... This of course is a slight exageration on my part, but there was a lot of interest in our regionals and London to Paris ride on Trade Day at the show. Matt and Jo are now full steam ahead to shmoose the crowds at Earls Court all weekend and fill another L2P route. Route 3 is now full and in other wonderful news we're ahead of recruitment by a 102% from this time last year!! Get on yer janner!
if you want to secure your place in the biggest ever charity London to Paris and see the Tour de France finish the day after we hit the french capital you can sign up today at http://www.action.org.uk/get_involved/london_to_paris
While Matt and Jo are wooing our potential 2010 cyclists, Suzy and Gem are off to Gosport to welcome the participants on the first ever Sail the Solent Challenge! 34 sailers, 6 skippers and 6 boats will be competing this Sunday in a wet and wild round the island race around the Isle of Wight... Suzy and Gem will be on the Rib making as much noise as possible (within legal noise pollution levels) to make sure the local paper come down to give us a glowing review and attract even more people for even more boats to compete in 2010!
and to make sure we spread the name of Action Medical Research to all corners of the globe, Oly is in Chicago preparing for his big race on Sunday in the Chicago Marathon. Oly flew out yesterday and should be waking up any time now to the crisp fresh air of the windy city. Good luck Ols and the rest of the Action Team from all of us back in "rain with some sunny spells" england! and for the rest of you, we'll be getting updates this weekend as to how our road runner is getting on so we'll give you the full rundown next week...
