Poor Circulation 2008

Post by BockingBandit »

Right guys. I've sold everything that I own,... (spare Kidney still available £1000 if required) and I'm off around the world raising money for the Hospice that took care of my Parents. Details @ my justgiving site:

http://www.justgiving.com/geoffgthomas

25,000 miles, 22 countries, No Free Bike, No Support Crew, No Film Crew, No Free-Stuff, No Hotels, No Tent and a budget of £20 per day,.. RESULT. Setting off April 23,.. returning when its over. Wil be covered by 'The Riders Digest'.

Any questions? :D Geoff

Where are you setting off from? Would you like a send off?

Best of luck.

Joe,.. not exactly certain yes. Will be 2 departure points. First from the Hospice in Darlington on April 23rd,.. then Second probably from the Ace Cafe. Exact date for the Ace Cafe depends on Press etc. I will let everyone know as soon as.
All welcome to ride along for a while. Still trying to make 'Wales' on either Saturday or Sunday to meet BoxerTrix.

Cheers,.. Geoff

Well done Geoff. I'll make this a sticky thread so that it hangs around at the top of the forum.

All the best,

Paul.
You really need only two tools: WD-40 and duct tape. If it doesn't move and it should, use WD-40. If it moves and shouldn't, use the tape.

Good Luck to you.... I am sure it will be both enjoyable and cathartic.

Thanks for the compliment Stuart. This is my first attempt at Blogging,.. another real voyage of discovery/ I have been writing for Magazines for a few years now with a little 'Ghost Writing'on the side.

And should you want to donate money to their charities then again look at the above web address.
