Etape Caledonia - HELP!!

[geneandbolly]

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!

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

BIG thanks to Mark and the Duke Boys for your kind donations - I shall suffer for every penny!!

Come on the rest of you - this is for a TERRIFIC cause!

[geneandbolly]

Mike, thanks for your generous donation to the cause!

EXTRA thanks to me ole mukka, Marky Boy for the extra donations from S6 Lee and your brother - that was really good of you to go out of your way like that. Please pass on my sincerest thanks to them both . .

Henkjan, thanks very much for your kind donation!!

Euros are most welcome too!

Are you coming over for the West of Scotland Tour on the 2nd April?

Are you coming over for the West of Scotland Tour on the 2nd April?

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?

[geneandbolly]

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!

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?

[geneandbolly]

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 -

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!
