Previous rides and presentation evenings
Charity bike ride 2007
The total proceeds for the 2007 ride were £ 51,500 - congratulations to everyone who took part and collected sponsorship.
Cheques were presented to the charities and causes on the 4th October.
BLISS, MacMillan and Lynchmere Cricket Club, all raised over £2000 from the efforts of their supporters - well done.
 
Pictured above are Diane Bennett of BLISS and David Hains of Lynchmere Cricket Club, receiving their cheques from Philip Jordan (LiDBA Chairman).
The Michaelson Cup has been presented annually for a number of years now in recognition of an individual or organisation that has worked tirelessly for the good of our community.
This year we have decided to present it to a group that encourages youngsters to reach their potential, while recognising that some will be less able to do that than others - the Liphook District Guides and Brownies
They also play two key roles in the Bike Ride for which we are eternally grateful. First, they run all the refreshment
stops giving drinks, help and encouragement to the Riders. Second, and more importantly, they give all of us at
Bohunt tea and bacon sandwiches to keep us going through what is a very long morning. Seen here is Jess Topping
receiving the Michaelson Cup.

We would like to thank our sponsors for their support this year. Owens Cycles as always managed to save the day for many
cyclists by repairing bikes as they broke down around the route. Passfield Self Storage was our main sponsor this year. Their
tremendous financial support has covered all the costs of the ride and more, ensuring that an even greater sum of money can be donated back
to the charities. The proceeds from riders not riding for a specific charity are shared amongst those we support.
Please remember to start collecting your sponsorship money and paying it into the bank using the coded slips provided in your rider pack.

2004 LiDBA Bike Ride held 13th June
With massive support from all quarters, the Event has grown every
year since and 2004 was the biggest one yet. With the help of Police from 3
counties, nearly 1300 riders took part in glorious sunshine on a course going
down the old A3, left on to the A272 towards Midhurst, left at Rogate and up
Rogate Hill, down through the Borden Woods to Milland and back to Liphook via
the dreaded Lynchmere Hill.
140 Junior Riders rushed around a special course
on the grass fields at Bohunt and in the end, nearly £55,000 was raised for
local charities, causes and associations, much of it from the efforts of
their own supporters.
£ 54,764 raised for local charities

First rider back was Robert Greenwood (rider 1038) in 1 hour 4 minutes.
No great surprise as to who the first lady back was ... Kat Spinney (rider 1039) ... Kat has been the first lady back
for several years, taking 1 hour 9 minutes this year, even though she claimed to be unfit and out of practise at the start
... we don't believe a word of it.
The prize for the best fancy dress went to Marion Ede, riding for local charities.
