Your hard-earned and generously donated cash will go towards the costs of running PGG. Our main costs are annual insurance to cover our rides, website hosting, venue hire for special events, and first aid equipment. This totals around £400 each year.

No, we’re not a charity. We’re a community, and our goal is to provide a welcoming and wholesome group environment for adventuring in the Peak. Unfortunately, basic costs are rising, and we can’t do it safely and effectively at zero cost.

We’ve managed to win a few grants and donations in the past, and we will keep seeking those opportunities out. However, the majority of our costs so far have been funded out of our own pocket money!

Absolutely not! Our entire existence is based on making sure everyone who wants to join can. Our rides have always been, and will always be, free to attend. No matter what happens, we’ll keep PGG running (rolling) and continue finding ways to fund it.

No, you don’t have to come on a ride to donate or buy a patch – we’d just love to see our patches out there everywhere, whether you’re a regular PGG’er or a friend from afar!

Aside from a warm, glowy feeling and being an official FRoGG, for a donation of £5 or more, you can opt to receive a PGG Bingo Card and Patch! It’s totally up to you though, and you can select that option as part of the donation process.

We LOVE a patch! Sew it to your bike bag, your camping blanket or your grocery tote so everyone knows you love an adventure on two wheels. We had a small batch created in the hope that we could raise some funds to cover PGG costs. To add a little element of challenge, we paired these with a PGG Bingo Card (printed on seeded paper that grows wild flowers when planted!) Tick off all the elements on the bingo card to earn your card (earn is quite strong… you receive it with the patch, so completing it is entirely up to you – but if you do, we’d love to see some pics of the card being completed!).

Any funds over and above our target will remain in the PGG pot for a rainy day…JUST KIDDING; we’ll still be riding bikes on rainy days!! But in all seriousness, extra money will be used to put on more skill-sharing events and also act as a useful buffer in case any of our usual costs rise, or we need a new flag or an extra emergency blanket, for example. Rest assured, it won’t be finding its way into anyone’s pocket and will be funnelled right back into PGG activities to keep this awesome community thriving.
