2013 Ride for Research -London- open to applicants

We are pleased to announce that applications are now open for riders wishing to take part in the second 2013 Ride for Research event.

The cycle ride will take place in London on October 23rd.

It will be a circular route of about 25 miles from Kew Gardens along the River Thames (on designated cycle-ways) and as per the format of our previous three events, we’ll be stopping at three schools to plant trees with pupils. A major focus of the school visits will be environmental education.

The ride is open to foresters, arboriculturists and anyone interested in trees and the environment. If you don’t want to ride yourself but would like to volunteer to support the 2013 Ride for Research, please let us know how you may be able to help.
