Help young UK riders and perhaps win a £2,300 road bike

(I asked Shaun if it was okay to post this and he said yes.)

I received an email from the organiser of the Brian Robinson Sportive on behalf of the Dave Rayner Fund and thought I'd pass the information on here.

The Dave Rayner Fund helps riders make the transition to racing on the continent, and has raised £500,000 since its creation in 1996. Among the 300 riders who have benefitted from the fund's help include David Millar, Bradley Wiggins and Charly Wegelius.

They have some great prizes (including a Trigon road bike worth £2,300) in a prize draw open to all those who make a donation of at least £5 before November 4th. (Dave Rayner website)

The Trigon RQC27 features a carbon-fibre frame and forks, adorned with a SRAM Force groupset and Intrepid wheelset. The bike was donated by Trigon.

Second prize is a pair of tickets to next year's Dave Rayner Dinner. The lucky winner will get to sit at the top table with a host of stars such as Bradley Wiggins, David Millar and Mark Cavendish.

Third prize is RST cycle clothing, also donated by Trigon.

Send your donation, to be entered into the draw, to:

Your £5+ donation goes towards supporting young UK riders early on in their racing careers and you might win a great prize too. Go for it!
