why

in 2009 with the loss of so many friends and mum,i decided that time had come to realise a dream,cycling end to end,but at near on 20 stone everyone thought i was crazy,a visit to the doctors had welcomed results with the advise not to diet ,take the training steady and eat a sensible heathy diet,and get regular checks with them from time to time,

out on the bike it was murder on my rear too much weight pressing down on such a small area,

the answer A RECUMBENT TRIKE ! and boy was it welcome.because i want to enjoy it 50 mile a day has been planned(20ish days)i have decided the only way i could afford it was to cycle camp,rough and ready but cheap

due to the length of the trip it will also be solo and un assisted,told you i was crazy

st george;s day.and the rains

yesterday was st George's day.i was on the ctc stand in fargate.i think its safe to say there is a noticeable lack of a publicity officer within the ctc.although with material provided the people involved did an excellent job well done team,may i also say thank you for allowing me to show of the trike and collect for st Luke's just under£60 collected not bad to say it was a bucket placed on trike and not waived under every passing persons nose.thank you again.,
cailin did a short interview to post on his web page,once the rain had stopped,an entertaining half hour watching everyone get soaked in a flash flood complete with hail stones
Caroline arrived with her trike,such a good advocate for disabled fending for her self and not just accepting that she could never be independent.good for you Caroline,lucky for her she left before the rain,unlike our Kellie who set of home just before the heavens opened.and to quote "that's her adverse weather training complete"

  1. Thank's Mike, for the nice words in your Blog, It's not an effort though, it just comes naturally. Steve is the front man, but I think he was excused? And we all coped, he seems to know who can be relied on.

    He text me last night, to see how we'd gone on. And to say he was recovering.

    I replied saying it was the trikes, that were the crowd pullers :)

    It didn't rain aty Totley!! But I did hear Sheffield was having floods, so I guessed!!
