Charity Ride to buy motorcycles for the Congo 19th April in Cheshire

[Mississippi Bullfrog]

The Bishop of Chester, the Rt Revd Mark Tanner, rides a BMW GS1200 and joins us on our group rides - The Sons of Jehu (taken from 2 Kings 9:20 - the riding is like the riding of Jehu the son of Nimshi, for he rideth furiously).

 

On Saturday 19th April he is organising as charity ride to raise funds to provide 125cc motorcycles for the Democratic Republic of Congo. These enable education, nursing services, midwifery and other essential services to be delivered in areas inaccessible except by small capacity motorcycles. $1,000 puts a new bike on the road in the DRC. The Diocese of Chester has a link with the Dioceses of Aru and Boga to support this work.

 

The ride will be 125cc friendly as we shall have some learners with us. No motorways and not exceeding 50mph. The route is available on www.little-house-in-joppa.uk/BBBMFRoute1

 

The ride is running within the Biking Bishop's Biking Mission Fund. We are asking riders to donate a minimum of £5 towards the charity. 

 

We start at Church House, Daresbury, at 10.30am with a briefing. Directions will be by Tail End Charlie with stewards giving directions at junctions. Lunch will be at the Bishop's House in Chester so please notify of any dietary requirements when booking.

 

To book onto the ride please email [email protected]. Donations can be made in cash on the day.

 

The ride will end at Foxhill near Frodsham at around 3.15pm.

 

All riders are responsible for providing their own road legal motorcycle and riding gear, complying with traffic regulations and their own safety and conduct.

 

I am sharing this here in case there is anyone who would like to support this worthy cause. It will not be a blasting round the lanes of Cheshire, more of a sedate bimble, but for a very good cause.
