Quick update........
Due to a few instances and what not, my dates have changed. I was due to set off at the end of March, but after having various arguments with work/girlfriends/mates etc, I am now starting in the first week of the summer holidays. Basically, work can't afford to pay me for a week off and not have me in work, which sounds silly, but rememeber it is a school after all (it's not just the money, they can't afford to be down on bodies).
Plus, if I go in the summer, I have a friend who can ride with me, I don't know if any of you know anything about cycling, but having somebody ride with you pushes your mph up by quite a bit, and I'll have someone to take photos.
Also, my Mrs will be a lot happier, as I'll have some company, and if I get squashed by a truck, somebody can call for an ambulance.
Fourthly, I'll have my new bike by then.
Fifthly, better weather.
Sixthly, more time to raise more money.
Seventhly, sponsor me!!!
To everyone who has sponsored me, thank you sooo much, I hate to push my dates back because it makes me feel like I look like I am crying off, believe me, this is not the case. I am desperate to do this ride, I have already ridden double the distance in training miles alone. But the above reasons, I think are pretty valid, I hope you agree.
Please feel free to contact me with any questions.
