Grim Riders Rides

As well as the annual charity ride we have an increasing number of other rides which members are welcome to take part in by visiting the landmarks from the rides. There is a ridebook for each ride which lists the landmarks (usually fifteen, except for the Counties Rides) which form the ride. Rides can be completed in one of two ways - as a Challenge Ride, when you visit a number of landamrks in one ride; or as a Touring Ride, when you visit landmarks on as many visits as you like, over as long a period of time as you like. Once you have visited five landmarks you can claim a Bronze Award; ten landmarks for a Silver Award; and all fifteen for a Gold Award. You can complete as many or as few awards as you like - for each one you need to send in your photographic evidence (using your Charity Ride placard for that year) and payment of £10 (by paypal) to grim@thegrimrider.com.
