Why A Ride For Life?
A message from Rob
A Ride For Life is the creation of Rob Heap, a retired engineer and an enthusiastic cyclist, who enjoys cycling around the beautiful North York Moors National Park. In recent decades, Rob has seen how our climate is warming, how our environment, ecosystems and nature are suffering, and how difficult this situation will make life for future generations of Homo sapiens (us) on our precious planet. Rob has identified that there is a need for a website that explains these issues, the consequences of them, and offers some solutions, all in one place. This is why A Ride For Life has been created.
Rob continues to cycle around the North York Moors National Park to promote A Ride For Life, and encourage more people like you to visit this website. Rob hopes this website will encourage you to explore and adopt some ideas, that if adopted, will address the most fundamental challenges that we, and future generations will face this millennium.
A Ride For Life is grateful for your visit to this website today. We hope you will find it interesting and informative, and you will bookmark this site so you can return to it time and time again.
Thank you!
