Moonriders 2013

[ActionChallenge]

Hello everyone,
 
In 2013, we present 3 incredible rides for 2013 with cycling in its most exciting form - and all for a charity of your choice - or by paying your own cost with an included charity donation! Cycle the 100km from city to city on our London 2 Cambridge challenge, tackle the iconic London 2 Brighton route in a completely different light, or take on our Halloween 'spooky' tour of London in an October themed special! Or cycle all three! You will be fully supported with a signed and mapped route, and energy snack stops and meals en route - leaving you to just enjoy the ride!
 
Our website is www.moonriders.co.uk if you fancy taking a look!
 
Feel free to ask any questions too,
 
William

Or you can do nineteen rides for two quid with the people who know what they're doing.

Or pick up on one of Roger's rides, where you end up at a fanatic cafe.

We have to presume that is deliberate.

Exactly!

Plus there's nothing stopping someone paying money to charity any time they like, and knowing ALL of the money goes to charity. 

Although I'm not specifically picking on Moonriders here, certainly last year the charities linked to Moonriders told me they had to pay between £70-£95 per rider to the organisers as a fee, plus of course the riders themselves have to pay a registration fee.

So last year there were 750 riders = £70 (minimum) x 750 + £59 x 750 = £96,750 to the organisers, as a bare minimum, so at least £100,000.  How many marshals were there?

Personally, I get very uneasy when commercial organisations get involved in running charity events.  Whilst I don't have a problem with charities being run like businesses, the prime function of a commercial organisation is to make a profit for its shareholders.  Meaning the charity support is further down the list of priorities.

You can also sign up to the challenge by paying for the full cost of your place on the event for £139 - included within this is a donation of £20 for you to allocate to any one of our partner charities. Once you have fully signed up to the challenge you can then continue your support of your chosen charity if you choose to do so!

..or you can raise £300 for the charity - it's not clear how much the charity will pay Action Challenge UK Ltd in this case

Not sure why a short ride from London at night is so ridiculously expensive

The AUK National 400km is £20 - which some might say is expensive - but that £20 covers the cost of ISTR six control points with food and facilities at least one of which is 24h
