So it begins!!!

Well I've now got all the funding I need and so first thing Sunday morning I will be setting off to Amsterdam. A little later in the year than originally planned but this being the first year for this ride I overlooked a few things. This has now all been sorted and so I can make my way on the 1st August and you will have daily updates(as long as i find internet) of the upcoming ride.

Funds slowly coming in.

Recently i've had some work come my way which means my original plans seem to be back in play, the ride will take place as soon as all the work is complete and i have the funds to leave, roughly 2 weeks from today. I'm determined to make this ride a succsess dispite a run of bad luck, mainly my tent being faulty which meant i had to leave bike radar early, and a couple of issues with my bike. I beg people who are following this blog to bear with me. my last post with a change of route was put in place in case funds didn't come in and i couldn't afford to do a ride abroad. Keep watching this space.

With Regret!!

With regret I have had to postpone my ride due to circumstances out of my control. Due to difficult times I have been unable to raise the funds I need to take on the ride, however there will still be a ride, just be it in this country. On the 24th of july I will ride from Dover to Falmouth over a 12 day ride. The ride is about 200 mile shorter, but no less difficult due to the terrain I will be crossing. I hope this will come as some consulation to the people who have so kindly donated sponsorship toward my original ride. As for the original ride I will have to postpone this untill next year, this will give me 12 months to raise the funds I need and plan it out a little more and hopefully get a few more riders to come along. Please continue to follow this blog as the new ride will still be fully covered!

Weekend Fund Raising!

This weekend was all about raising sponsorship, so with my bike, trailer and an A-board off I went on a mission. On Saturday I pitched up over Cannock Chase and with the help of my girlfriend and her children we managed to raise about £100. Then today we pitched up over Beacon park where they had the 'Cars in the Park' rally where we raised around £300, giving a total of £400 over the weekend. We had a really good weekend doing it and I'd like to say thank you to my girlfriend Sonia and her children for there fantastic efforts and a big thank you to all those who donated, job well done!!
