11 April 2025All are welcome to join alumnus Tom Staniford for an inspirational bike ride on Sunday 27 April, 10:00 at Exeter Quay.
Tom, who studied for his LLB European (Maitrise) degree at Exeter is sadly having both his legs amputated soon and wants to raise money by riding his bike one last time. He’s fundraising for four charities: The Devon Air Ambulance Trust, Wheels for Wellbeing, Exeter UNESCO City of Literature and The Devon and Exeter Institution.
On his fundraising page, Tom says:
On Sunday 27 April I will be sitting on a bench in Piazza Terracina, Exeter Quayside at 10am. Soon after, I am going to have the gentlest of snail-pace sociable pootles on the bike path down to the Double Locks pub . Potentially continuing on to the Turf Locks, if the weather is good (It’s UK Winter/Spring remember). Whereupon I will feast upon caffeinated beverages and an assortment of indulgent pastries/cakes. Then I’ll probably meander back. Possibly for additional coffee and cake, or even ‘real food’ on the Quay. (I take refuelling v seriously). That’s about 3 miles in total if we go to DL, or 10 if we go to Turf. It is pan flat. Wrap up warm.
No costs/fees/charges. It’s just a fun friendly goodbye ride for my legs.
