Bike for Dad event

[graemeaylward]

Some genuine questions:

1. Are the cyclists doing this event for charity, i.e. sponsored for each kilometre they complete, similar to many marathons or 10km runs? If not, why not?

2. Who gets the proceeds from the merchandising? Does this go to charity?

3. HM the King's birthday was on Dec 5th, a Saturday. There was a Public Holiday on 7th Dec to celebrate. Why was the Bike for Dad event not held on either of these days when Dec 11th is a normal working day?

Hope this post does not contravene any forum rules, but I can find no answers to these questions anywhere else and I am interested to know the answers. Thank you.

1. they are doing it because they are sheep.

I saw a shirt saying that today on a guy going around the lake.

Good for the organization.

Sheep riding a bike. Maybe should call it ride for Ram day. I'd travel to see that.
