Hi Guys,
You might remember me talking before about cycling Gibraltar to Yorkshire solo. Well I cant believe its finally here, and starting tomorrow!
Just want to thank everyone on this forum, as it has been an absolutely fantastic wealth of information, hints and tips thats even got me this far. Its really helped me ensure I have the best kit for the job and to do it right.
I've been doing a couple of test runs. Just 2 day tours. But I've never actually done anything longer than that. So approx 25 days Im estimating it will take me to Yorkshire will really be something else!
Its quite amazing how this all took off. From just wanting to do it myself, to accomplish people for me. People said. I'll sponsor you! So I got thinking, well if i open up a just giving page and people want to sponsor me for it, then why not. It only benefits the charity. Then everything just spiraled. Especially down here on the Gibraltar side. The Gibrlatar Society for Cancer relief just got me involved with so much local publicity down here. I've been in papers, magazines, done radio interviews, been on the TV! So far have raised nearly £2000 for both charities combined. I havnt even set off yet! So its all good! I even got Betfred Poker to support the event who gave me a small sponsorship deal too! Small but every little helps!
So wish me luck. I set off tomorrow. You can follow @gibtoyorks on twitter. Join the facebook page: http://www.facebook.com/?ref=logo#!...-Yorkshire-for-Charity/115729231803396?ref=ts and keep a track of my GPS position via the site http://www.gibraltartoyorkshire.co.uk
I'm going on an Edinburgh Bicycle Revolution Country Explorer.
Thanks a lot again to this forum! Might be a couple of beers tonight for the dutch courage and to help me sleep. Coz im obviously rather excited and nervous all rolled into one!
