Re: Proof of ride
If you're doing it for charity then sponsors / the charity themselves might want something more definitive than a few receipts from cafe stops.mumbojumbo wrote: ↑18 Nov 2022, 6:49pm Does it matter if a ride cannot be supported by evidence? Who would a rider need to convince?
Cant imagine why anyone would bother with paying for a certificate now though; Strava proves the same thing in far more detail plus you can hook it up to VeloViewer and download the full "bottom to top" route in one line and have it printed. Like this (not mine, just got it off a Google Image search)

Re: Proof of ride
There is a legal argument here ,as a third party is involved I would ask a local vicar to help out

Re: Proof of ride
Frankly, if I'd sponsored you on a LEJOG ride as you raised money for some noble cause, I'd be less than impressed if you presented me with a list of receipts from cafes and the alleged signature of a vicar in Wick!mumbojumbo wrote: ↑20 Nov 2022, 6:06am There is a legal argument here ,as a third party is involved I would ask a local vicar to help out

Also, that would look rubbish on the wall as a memento of your achievement...

Re: Proof of ride
I have a few documents , commensurate with my modest qualifications, and none are displayed on walls. My preference is for facsimiles of paintings by Frances Beacon and Lucifer Freud..
Re: Proof of ride
If I'd sponsored someone for their LEJOG I'd just take their word for it that they had done it. And why would you want a memento on the wall at all? Isn't it a bit like having your swimming certificates on display? Even Strava doesn't absolutely prove you did it. It proves someone did it.rareposter wrote: ↑21 Nov 2022, 4:02pmFrankly, if I'd sponsored you on a LEJOG ride as you raised money for some noble cause, I'd be less than impressed if you presented me with a list of receipts from cafes and the alleged signature of a vicar in Wick!mumbojumbo wrote: ↑20 Nov 2022, 6:06am There is a legal argument here ,as a third party is involved I would ask a local vicar to help out

Re: Proof of ride
Cycling LEJOG pales into insignificance when compared with finding a vicar in Wick.

Re: Proof of ride
The only true proof - knowing you've done it.
A faker could produce mucho evidence, but they'd still know they haven't done it.

I'm planning it end of September next year. A nice T shirt will do for me
