Today (07/05/2023) we had our second Muslim Time Trial 🤩

We started off the day bright and early arriving for registration by 7.30, we pinned our numbers on and off we went to start our reccy ride of the route 📍🧭

Once we warmed up we were ready to start our TT, heads down ready to push too new limits 💪🏽 The women raced first getting a best time from @muslimwomencycling of 35 minutes and 22 seconds 🤩🤩 the men raced next with a best time of 24.38 🚴🏽

As we cheered everyone across the finish line 🏁 riders headed back to the start point to have some much deserved chai, somosas and cake made and decorated beautifully by @asminakassam 🍰 it’s not a ride without cake 🎂

Thank you to all those who attended we hope you enjoyed a new/fun experience!! 🥳

Thanks to Dave George for being our coach/timer/commissaire you have helped us come so far 🚴🏽💪🏽

Yesterday we were so delighted to have got tickets to go to @rapha_uk Ramadan Laps and Iftar 🚲😋

We met so many wonderful brothers and sisters some who we hadn’t seen in a while and reconnected in this holy month with our common passion 🚴🏽‍♀️🚴🏽

After getting our @fasted500 miles around Regents Park we headed back to the clubhouse to pray alongside our sisters and brothers before having some delicious Iftar 🤤

Since we were in London we couldn’t stop there we had to ride to see the Ramadan Lights in Piccadilly Circus where we met the incredible Aisha @ramadanlightsuk who enabled the lights to be there in the first place!! 🤩🕌

It was an amazing evening and we are already counting down the days till next year!!

Salamalaikum and Jumma Mubarak 🌹

On this first Friday of the blessed month of Ramadan, Evolve wish to introduce our fundraising campaign for 2023 🌸

Evolve is proud to champion three of LFT’s #Educate2Empower campaigns

*Campaign 1 - Improving the teaching in 55 primary schools in Tanzania (55,000+ students)*

*Campaign 2 - Supporting LFT’s Deaf Reach Program across 7 deaf schools across Pakistan (1,500+ students)*

*Campaign 3 – Creating a digital platform across 19 schools in Kenya (400+ students)*

Each of our upcoming cycling events present great fundraising opportunities for children being deprived of their basic right to an education.

As our members, riders, and supporters, we humbly request each of you to aim to raise £250 this year, which will contribute towards our group annual target of £60,000.

The much needed donations will be used to train teachers; provide school books, uniform and equipment; provide nutritious school meals; renovate schools and create a digital platform to aid children’s education.

Let’s all do our part to empower these children to dream of a better tomorrow.
