Top XC racer Oli Beckingsale is giving away a load of top-end kit in an auction and all the money raised will go to the Springboard Opportunity Group charity.
As Oli says: “As a professional cyclist I am lucky enough to get given a fair amount of bits and bobs that are limited edition or generally expensive. Normally it sits around in my garage or given to friends or family but I have decided to get some of the best bits that money cannot buy and auction them off to raise money for a charity called Springboard Opportunity Group.”
Beckingsale is a professional mountain bike racer for Giant Bicycles and has been racing full time for 12 years. In that time he has competed at three Olympic Games, has won a Commonwealth Games silver medal and been Senior National Champ five times. Find out more about him at www.olibeck.com.
The charity Springboard provides support, learning and play facilities for children aged 0-5 with special needs and their families in North Somerset, England. They do a fantastic job and I know this first hand as my eldest daughter Zoe has benefited from their support for the last year. More information at www.springboardweb.org.uk
There are three items on www.ebay.co.uk and they all end on the 26 November. They include:
This fork is a SID team fork with special graphics and was given to sponsored only riders for the 2008 Beijing Olympics. There were a dozen or so made and this is a one off as it also has the British flags on it. Also in with the fork is a Team GB Olympic t-shirt which were only given to members of Team GB at the Beijing Olympics.
