Cranking Up the Preps!<br />
Prior to running the <strong>2017</strong> <strong>Liphook</strong> Bike Ride, the Crankers enjoyed the opportunity to do<br />
some cycling in Mallorca where over 300 miles were covered, and over 25,000 feet climbed.<br />
They also discussed the final planning for the <strong>Liphook</strong> Bike Ride.<br />
The <strong>Liphook</strong> Crankers are now cranking up their preparations for<br />
the annual <strong>Liphook</strong> Bike Ride on 11 June. The website is fully up<br />
and running and accepting. Planning is well under way for the<br />
ride which will be similar in format to last year’s successful ride.<br />
The Crankers held a meeting with Lidba members and representatives<br />
from a number of charities to brief them on the website and the<br />
plans for <strong>2017</strong>. This is so that they can continue in their role in<br />
Charities’ liaison.<br />
The Ride Team has also written out to local businesses for their<br />
sponsorship support. Already a number of businesses and<br />
schools have pledged their support. Bohunt School will sponsor<br />
the road signs this year which will help to promote the School’s<br />
6Th form which opens in September. Barons BMW and The<br />
Spire hospital in Havant will be the other principal sponsors<br />
donating over £700 each while a number of new sponsors are<br />
also expected. The EHDC has provided a £1000 grant to fund new<br />
equipment which this year will be new Gazebos for the Junior<br />
Ride. There will be a finish arch and certificates for ride finishers.<br />
Once again Petersfield ATC will be in support on car parking<br />
while the <strong>Liphook</strong> Guides will<br />
manage the refreshment stops.<br />
The Crankers have reviewed road<br />
marshals and while over 20 are<br />
confirmed, the road team could do<br />
with more. If anyone is interested<br />
please contact Erwin Frank-Shultz<br />
through the Ride website at:<br />
info@liphookbikeride.com<br />
The Crankers have made some<br />
enhancement to the website to<br />
make it even easier to enter,<br />
especially for charities. Emails have<br />
been sent out to more than 600<br />
riders from last year. Website<br />
manager and digital lead Sean<br />
Remnant said; “we were very<br />
pleased with the way the website<br />
worked last year. This year we have<br />
introduced a short video which<br />
shows how easy it is to register<br />
online”. Those wishing to enter for<br />
a charity should apply for a charity<br />
code emailing: admin@liphookbikeride.com<br />
