The last 18 months have been unprecedented. Thankfully, things now seem to be returning to normal. Lockdowns and restrictions would seem to have re-invigorated (forced?!) many people to rediscover lost form.

For a bunch of OCs from the early-mid 1990s, that form may have been the memory of a darting “pick-up-and-go” from the back of the  scrum. In reality it was the realisation (through the medium of the Strava Fitness App) that the same bunch of OCs had developed a fondness for over-priced lycra and similarly over-priced bicycles (some more than others) !

Mutual patting on the back progressed to an idea, and then that idea to reality. Currently 7 OCs, from the class of ’94 have decided to undertake a mammoth bike ride on 25 September 2021.

We are raising money for the MS Society, in memory of our good friend and classmate, Tim Evans, who sadly passed away from Multiple Sclerosis in 2016 having just reached his Forties.

However, I am also riding for the MS Society as Multiple Sclerosis is in my own family, with both my Mum and my maternal Grandfather both afflicted by this horrid, autoimmune disease. 

We’ll be cycling 100 miles across the South Downs, including its bloody big hills, starting and finishing at Cranleigh School.

We have created a just giving fundraising page:

Please do give generously to help keep us motivated, whilst at the same time raising money for this incredibly worthwhile charity! The page gives you information about the team - and we will be able to keep you updated as we get nearer to the day.

THANK YOU!
