The Longest Day Down Challenge

Some of you lovely people may remember my posts around Christmas looking for a cheap bike to take part in a charity run from John O' Groats to Land's End on.

 

In a moment of madness towards the back end of last year I signed up to ride a sub £300 motorbike from John O' Groats to Lands End in 24 hours on 21st June this year organised through the Performance Bike Maagazine forum that I also frequent.  I've ended up with a 1988 Kawasaki GPZ500 that , all being well, will fly through an MOT this coming Friday and propel me to glory on the longest day of the year.

 

The event is called the Longest Day Down Challenge and you can find out more at:

Inevitably there's a charity element to the whole thing and we're raising money for Cancer Reasearch UK so if you could see your way to donating a few quid then I'd be most grateful. The easiest way to do that is to use my Just Giving page:

I'd like to think I could raise a £1000, or maybe more, and if everyone who knows me here on FB gave just a small amount I could achieve that easily. Come on, we all know someone who has been affected by the big C, you can spare me a few quid surely ;-)

 

Ta muchly, Jon
