I think Civvy could do a bike ride at this level


Touche (I don't have the IT skills to put the accent over the e).

I now have a sore head but will be going out today to "suss out" a bike.  


The wife was going away for a girly weekend.
I jokingly remarked  'I don't know whether to spend it watching porn or watching football'
'you may as well spend it watching porn' she replied
That's understanding darling what makes you say that? I asked

She said 'Well you already know how to play football'

Right me and a mate are going to attempt to do the bike 20 miles run last 19 miles.

Now I haven't done anything like this before apart from a 70 odd mile bike ride last year so I'm a complete novice at the running side.Many on here would agree with me not doing much running having seen me attempt to play football now and again!

We start training for this next month so hopefully we can do it.We will competing in the bike ride anyway.

I'd have thought TJ would be riding out for the Gimps, he told me he was as good as Chris Hoy on a bike....

GrimRob needs to confirm so we can be the backmarkers of the group.

And seeing Martin Burns' name up there made me wonder if Mr D Burns of Radio Hullberside would be interested in joining the fun (as long as he doesn't want me to ride behind him on a tandem)

Best of luck to all involved. Two very worthy causes.

One question though, having previously done two events with a similar group of people, do you not envisage any problems trying to get the families and friends of those involved to sponsor the 'riders' for the same feat which they achieved only a year or so before to the sums previously raised? Especially, with times as hard as they are at the minute.

It's for two great causes, but I know from first hand as someone who has been involved with a number of charity events, that after the first time peoples generosity soon fades.

Hopefully the bikers will be able to raise a similar amount to last season. With the last event being over a year ago when this one takes place hopefully friends and family will still want to donate as generously as they did last season.






OFFICIAL FUNDRAISER FOR THE BRAIN TUMOUR CHARITY
TOTAL AMOUNT RAISED SINCE AUGUST 2008 £16613.24


LATEST DONATION - FROM DONATION FROM THE FISHY FORUM - AUG 2023 AMOUNT RAISED £170.00
