Social Rides Week Commencing 17th December
Hi All,
Not long till Christmas, then we can start to enjoy the coming of the New Year.
To help us all get into the Christmas spirit, how about……….
I’ve heard that there is a social ride that ends up at the Baltic pub in Foxdale, for Christmas carol’s etc……(and beer)
I know that there will be a group leaving from the NSC at 6.30pm on the Wednesday 19th.
So I’m proposing to cycle into St.Johns, then head up 7 gates into Archy for a play, then head over to the Baltic, to join in the fun and BEER.
Date : Wednesday 19th December
Time : 6.45pm
Venue : Farmers Arms car park, St.Johns
And how about
Date : Thursday 20th December
Time : 6.45pm
Venue : Cat with no Tail pub car park
If you are up for any of the rides, or may need a lift for the thursday night ride, then please get in touch.
Either way let me know if your riding or not, so we’re not waiting around.
Look forward to seeing a few out on the trails, and sampling some ales.
Cheers
Coops

Cat gets the Trophy!
Pictured below at her home in ‘V2 Gym‘ is Cat(reena) Quirk (nee Price) holding her long awaited but well deserved Longest Day, Longest Ride Female Solo Winners Trophy, beautifully handcrafted by our one and only, trophy miester, Dave ‘Mr Foxdale’ Newsham. Well done Cat, two years on the run, can you make it a third in 2013?
Cheque Presentation
We would like to pay a huge thank you to everyone that has sent in their sponsorship money so far. The other week, when we actually had some sun we made a presentation of a cheque for £3,2910.00 to Mary Doyle, representative of Rebecca House and Hospice, they were extremely grateful for all that everyone has done for them.
Pictured is Barry Martin and Gary Cooper from the Loaghtan Loaded MTB Club with Mary Doyle, PR and Marketing Manager for Hospice. The two gentleman presented Mary with the absolutely staggering amount of £3,291 for the children’s hospice, Rebecca House. This donation was raised as a result of the great 24 hour cycling event held in June. They had also presented Autism in Mann with the same amount – a total of £6,582.
Gary explained that he had personal experiences of dealing with both charities and wanted to do something worthwhile for them. The Microgaming Longest Day, Longest Ride challenge is organised by the Loaghtan Loaded and was an incredible event to be part of and it was with great pleasure that Gary and Barry handed over this donation.
Next years Longest Day, Longest Ride will be held on 15 and 16 June 2013 and will raise funds for the Manx Wildlife Trust and Craig’s Hearstrong Foundation.
