The Great Notts Bike Ride will have four routes this year:
· 100 mile ride - a sportive route for the more serious cyclist that will take in North Nottinghamshire and parts of Sherwood Forest and costs £24 per person
· 50 mile ride - a challenge ride that goes to Newark before looping back to Holme Pierrepont and costs £10 per person
· 18 mile ride - a community ride that goes to Shelford before looping back to Holme Pierrepont and costs £10 per person
· Lap challenge - a ride for young cyclists on a closed circuit around Holme Pierrepont and costs £12 per family.
The County Council wants to increase the charitable impact of the event, aiming to double the donations generated from £40,000 in 2007 to £80,000 this year. An additional charity; The Geoff Thomas Foundation, has been added to the four which benefited last year; Marie Curie Cancer Care, When you Wish Upon A Star, Rainbows Hospice and Cerebral Palsy Sport.

Safe natural & herbal methods also work but the funding for all of these isnt as much as they are harder to patent & make a quick buck on.
There is a possible safe cure for cancer well researched in Bristol on little funds unless things have changed recently. There is also office of a national non animal testing science organisation on north sherwood st, cant remember name right now as I have concussion.
Cooperative & soil association in my experience do not support charities being ripped off by some of the dodgier petroleum-pharma corporations.
Theres tonnes of research on links to petroleum companies like standard oil etc taking over pharmacuetical business at the start of the century, done in name of mass "value" medicine whilst destroying nature.
GM medicine is the next wave of "safe" medicine,tegenero scandal in london afew yrs ago where volunteers blew up to elephant size after drug was safely tested on animals, we all saw this on tv, etc. Now Brown wants HFE,literally a GM eguenics chimera bill pushed through parliament, possibly so he get grown another eye to replace his glass one, he has also been bribed&corrupted+held over a barrel by Lord Drayon the GM health minister.
