Barbara from Cleanbikes was given the challenge of dressing up for Halloween at the YMSA trial on 31st October with promises of sponsorship towards Britain 2005 World Round fund. She rose to the challenge and made herself look an idiot, as the picture shows, and served up "witches brew soup" for the occasion. :P Carol Slinger kindly joined in dressed as "Snow White" and even brought along her dwarves! :-" Will post here once the money's been counted up, but they raised well in excess of £100 with more still promised. :P If you want to contribute to their efforts, send your donation via PayPal to "raffle@biketrialuk.co.uk". Come on ... it's for a good cause!!!
