Vietnam Cycle Ride - Q&A
How much will it cost?
£349 registration fee + £3,400 minimum sponsorship. The actual costs of the trip are £1,700 so the MS Trust receives £1,700 plus every penny raised over the minimum sponsorship. The sponsorship raised will enable the MS Trust to take positive steps to improve the lives of people living with MS today.
Is the trip for me?
The majority of people on the Cycle Ride won't have done anything like this before so you will all be in the same boat! Most participants will be on the trip on their own, although some may come along with friends or family. You won't ever regret choosing to go on this challenge - and when else will you have the opportunity to make so many new friends in such a short space of time?!
How fit do I need to be?
You don't need to be an athlete to go on the Vietnam Cycle Ride however you will need to undertake a good level of training to get the very best out of the challenge. We will provide you with a comprehensive training plan to help you prepare for the trip and if you need any hints or guidance along the way we will be on hand to help you every step of the way.
Will you help me?
YES! Once you have signed up to the challenge a dedicated event manager is just a phone call away! There will also be a get together before the trip which gives you the chance to meet us and your fellow cyclists as well as swap fundraising and training ideas - and learn all about the challenge ahead!
What is the food like?
We'll enjoy traditional Vietnamese cuisine along with delicious rice and noodle dishes with fish and chicken.
What do I need to bring?
No specialist kit is required although you will need to bring your own cycle helmet and a gel saddle might be useful!
Will I be able to raise the sponsorship money?
YES! It may seem like a lot to raise if you have never done anything like this before, but once you have started you will find that in no time you will be racing towards your target with ease! We have suggested a few sponsorship hints and tips in this brochure to help you start, and our overseas managers are awash with fresh and original fundraising ideas should the need arise.
Can I stay on in Vietnam for longer?
YES! For a nominal administration fee your flight can be extended (subject to availability) which will give you the opportunity to explore more of this fantastic country in your own time.
Will you carry my luggage whilst I'm cycling?
YES! Your luggage will be carried separately in one of the support vehicles. You'll just need a bum bag to carry those essentials like a camera and sun tan lotion.
When should I book my place on the trip?
TODAY! Places are limited so avoid disappointment reserve your place as soon as possible!
