The Kintyre Forum

Hello folks,

Have put this in the main section because we hoped people outside the normal audience for the bikeride might want to get involved.

We are looking for people to help marshal the Mokbike event on Sunday the 14th October.
-various tasks will include checking people in and out at the start/finish
-pointing out the route within town and rural sections of route
-checking riders through various points - (this includes Southend, Kennacraig, Carradale, Ballochgair and Gobagrennan, so there is scope to help out even if you are not based in Campbeltown. )

All people who help on the day will be able to attend the after-ride buffet and social, kindly sponsored by the Ardshiel/Seafield hotel.

100% of the proceeds from entry fees and on the day fundraising will be being presented to the local committee of Macmillan Cancer Support when all rider's sponsor monies are collected in. We hope you will feel able to support this worthwhile cause.

We still have a number of places available for cycling on all routes, but you will need to act quickly as we will need to finalise numbers for food etc. soon.

If you can help here are contact details:
-see http://www.mokbike.com or email russandros(AT)gmail.com (change (AT) to @)
-or phone 01586 552747 / 07957 117277 / 07957 117253

Thank you.

Thanks for the response already , we are getting there with most major points covered.

The Ultimate ride IS running this year, and we are a bit thin for support in the section once the Kennacraig checkpoint is left, so we are appealing for folks in the Skipness/Claonaig and Carradale/Saddell areas. If you could give us any help please get in touch.

We are at approx 90 riders now, although the last entry date is passed we are still able to accomodate a few more cyclists if anyone has not signed up yet but you will need to enter immediately if not sooner!

All offers of Marshalling help are still welcome, we are particularly looking for extra volunteers in Carradale & Stewarton. please PM or use links below if you can help....Thanks.

Thank you for the very last minute flood of offers of help, we have gone from panicing to having enough people and then a few extra's too which always helps in a very short length of time since about yesterday.

Many Thanks!
