Disaster! Ride Bristol's entire store of tools, and the horse box they were stored in, were stolen.


The tools were stored securely but somehow the entire horsebox was stolen, leaving us with nothing. 


We lost heaps of wheelbarrows, rakes, spades, shovels, high viz vests, and loads more. That's thousands of pounds worth of equipment, kit we rely on for our volunteer work.


Without our tools we can't maintain Bristol's mountain bike trails, we can't organise any dig days and we can't have any more Big Digs. 


No tools, no trails!


But now we need YOUR help to find the rest.


We need to raise £6200 to buy a fresh set of tools and a container to securely store them. 


If we can hit this goal, we can get back to maintaining Bristol's MTB trails. Come on Bristol, let's rally together and make this happen!


Ride Bristol is the volunteer-run organisation in charge of maintaining Bristol's off-road cycling trails. 


Our online home is https://ridebristol.org


Note - our original goal was £5200, and thanks to the amazing response from the community, we smashed this. We've increased our target to £6200 to allow us to buy several extra tools and raise some extra funds to invest in Bristol's mountain bike trails. 


That will massively help us in our work. Thanks, MTB community - you are all amazing.
