This weekend five of us are riding around Wales
about 600 miles stopping over Saturday night in Gwbert on our way around.
We did it about two years ago and it was great- this time we are going backwards- well the other direction- not litterally backwards- that would be silly!
Forecast isnt too bad and bike fettled ready just needs a good clean but thinking about it maybe I will do it when I get back. I am lucky, my brother in law has a blade!
Last time I went for sponsorship for Wales air Ambulance but this time I am looking for pennies for Thankful Village-
Dont know if you have heard of this but two bikers are starting 27th July for 9 days riding 2500 miles to visit 51 thankful vilages- where all the young soldiers who left for the first world war all came home so they have no war memorial..... some (very few) are double thankful villages in that all that went to the second world war also came home.
Triumph have donated two bikes for the trip- not sure if they can auction them off afterwards- that would be nice... but they are trying to raise £51k for the British legion and I am trying to do my bit
Not an ex soldier but I was in the TA and nowadays - that is the same thing!- before we were SAS.... Saturdays and Sundays and a joke but today around half of the fighting force is volunteers.
Anyway- if you would like to sponsor me go to thankfulvillagesrun.com and pledge a couple of quid in a good cause- I will be getting callouses on my a55 this weekend in their name and riding with them in July for some of the way- the last but one village is four miles from me!
