A couple of local ones in May...

BHF Dorset Route 66 on 8th May (British Heart Foundation)
Dorset Coast and Poole Harbour on 22nd May (Lewis-Manning Hospice)

Orchid Cycle New Forest on 18th September (male cancer charity)

I am also organising a cycle ride from our Exeter office to our Bournemouth office in early September to raise money for our selected work charity for this year (we're attempting to raise £300,000 for Great Ormond Street Hospital by the end of 2011). Going to be a hilly 100 miles ish so will need to get plenty of miles in before then.

I did one for InterHealth with my brother on Saturday. 50km from Richmond to Richmond. The wives did the 25km event. I sprinted past them on the grass up to the registration tent at the end. I'm currently sleeping on the sofa...

But it was worth it...

I'm doing the Bath 100 in a couple of weeks and York 100 in August, both for Action Medical Research. I did the York 100 last year, my first century, with a group of friends. I really enjoyed the event and it was very well organised.

I'm conscious of donor fatigue so I'd rather make a (large donation) myself and not hassle my friends too much into sponsoring me to do something I enjoy and would happily do anyway. I'm doing a few other sportive-type rides but not for charity.
