You can join the ride

Anybody is welcome to join the meet-ups, and all rides will be tethered to allow everyone to ride together regardless of ability and experience. Every hour a new Meet-Up will be available for anyone to join! See details on the poster below for how you can join in for an hour… or even all 12!

The aim of the event is to raise money for Army Benevolent Fund The Soldiers’ Charity (www.soldierscharity.org).

ABF The Soldiers' Charity

You can find the event Just Giving Page here >>> www.justgiving.com/fundraising/ata-zwift.

Our past and present military personnel often go above and beyond for society but do it without the desire or requirement for praise or recognition. However, in times like these, I think it’s important to raise the awareness of the sacrifices of our Armed Forces often make for the greater good and support the charities that support those who have made these sacrifices and are in most need.
