Aubrey Steele, our President-Elect for 2023-24 is to take on a solo, unsupported bike ride into France and back to raise funds for our Rotary Club of Wilton Trust Fund.
Beginning on September 2nd 2023, Aubrey, 62, (pictured) will be riding from his home in Fovant to Newhaven on the south coast, where he will catch the ferry to Dieppe in France before cycling to Cherbourg to catch another ferry back to Poole. He will then ride back home from Poole to complete the circular solo ride.
During the ride, he will cover hundreds of miles, visiting other Rotary clubs and war cemeteries to pay his respects. Aubrey says about the ride, “The object of the solo ride, unsupported, is to raise the profile of Rotary and raise funds to help The Rotary Club of Wilton Trust Fund continue to support the local community and the poor and needy elsewhere.” All the funds raised from his ride will be donated to charitable causes. You can support Aubrey on his ride by sponsoring him here.
