    Etape Caledonia - HELP!!

    Hi All,

    Firstly, no apology for shamelessly promoting our finest charity, Marie Curie
    and my efforts to raise a bit of cash for them via my rapidly ageing legs!
    Some of you have seen just how much I grimace on the bike, so you'll know
    that I don't take on this task lightly!

    Help craig maclachlan raise money to support Marie Curie


    Experience the stunning Scottish Highlands on closed-roads. With three distances to choose from, this cycling event is not to be missed!


    Please donate what you can - I'll be suffering 110% on the day, if that helps
    you give up your pennies any easier!

    Many thanks,

    Craig

          probably not, would love to but I have some uncertainty in the work department so I'll keep expenses low. maybe in the autumn again?

            We shall no doubt have something organised for the Autumn, too, Henkjan - I hope to see you then. Best of luck on the work front.

              An update for y'all:

              I'm over halfway to my £1000 target now, thanks to some great friends and thoroughly generous souls out there. The bike miles are gradually being ramped up
              although still a long way off of the 81 miles that I'll have to cover on the day of the bike ride up north!

              Please pop a wee donation (or a big one!) if you can. My cyclling efforts
              will be logged at the link below as I suffer between now and The Etape Caledonia in May, so your pennies won't be donated in vain!

              Help craig maclachlan raise money to support Marie Curie


              Many thanks,

                      There's no point in being any other way!



                      How's your Blue Helmet getting on?! Plenty of trips out and about?
                      What about Lee? Has he joined this forum?

                        Well, that's the Etape Caledonia done and dusted - 81 miles ridden in just under 4 hrs 37 mins. Not front page results and over an hour behind the winner, but as the race organiser kept reminding us, "It's not a a race!" (Aye, rrrright!) It was a dry enough day and the wind was mostly favourable. I met plenty of great folk there who came out of the woodwork (the bunch) to have a blether about my 1989 TVT Carbon Fibre bike and invariably got talking about vintage cars too! Great minds . ..

                        Here's a wee update for you -

                        Help craig maclachlan raise money to support Marie Curie


                        A million thanks to those of you who were kind enough to dig deep and help me raise over a £1000 for Marie Curie - you're a MAGIC bunch indeed!
