Story





Les Redwood and Carl Haslem, two "old" friends, who used to work at British Airways PLC in the 1990's are raising money in memory of two incredible guys that passed away suddenly last year. Ian "Dickie" Davis and Simon "Baxi" Baxendale both passed away in 2021 in unexpected and truly shocking circumstances. This has made Carl and Les even more determined to "Carpe Diem" in their own lives and to combine a lifelong "bucket" list aspiration, whilst raising some funds in Simon and Ians' memories.
The "Dickie Baxi" (The DB's!!) cycle ride will traverse our fair isle from John o' Groats to Lands End from the 14th to 29th August 2022. Les and Carl will be fulfilling a lifelong aspiration to cycle right across the country from North to South and will be hoping to raise as much money for Dickie's Family and BHF in Simon's Memory as they can. Anyone that knew these two incredible guys will know what a shock it has been to lose such incredible people so, so suddenly and unexpectedly. Please donate whatever you can to support .
We are also looking for riders to join us - so if you are interested in some, or all of the journey with us , please email redwood.les@gmail.com
THANK YOU SO MUCH !! Les and Carl.

3 years agoCarl and Les just wanted to say thank you so much to all our supporters of our once in a lifetime, epic bike ride in Dickie and Baxi's memories. We were literally blown away by all your generosity . We collectively raised over £10,500, which we are organizing and distributing in line with Colin and Elena's wishes and a number of organizations and Dickie's family will also benefit directly from this. Thank you so, so much, Carl and Les !!

3 years agoOne day to go until the boys head up to John O'Groates to begin their 'downhill' ride to Land's End!! Apparently it's raining - so it could be waterproofs and wellies for the first leg of the journey! Follow our progress on Facebook/search: DickieBaxi
