On the Challenge
On the Challenge: - Love Hills luckily, Completed the Prague ride so have some idea of what to expect, but this is not going to be for the faint hearted.
I do feel honoured to be part of this Team raising money for such an important cause. Cancer touches many families in many different ways, I know this from personnal experiance, knowing the money raised will be put to good use to help many people here on our island will give me the determination I need to succeed in this massive challenge.
(April 2008)
Odds on completing the challenge: Unless something breaks (on me that is) i will finish it. If it takes 12 hours a day we will all ride every inch of the way.
