Thanks for taking the time to visit my page.<br /> <br />In 2010 I intended to set off on the ride, but unfortunately a week before I tripped and broke my left shoulder leaving me no option but to postpone the event.</span></span><span style="color: black; font-size: 12pt; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;"></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;">I set out on April 4<sup>th</sup> to ride my 1968 Triumph Tiger 100 (500cc) anti clockwise around the<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>East coast of and down the West coast of UK raising money for Hampshire and Isle of Wight Air Ambulance. After reaching John O Groats and starting my trip down the West coast , I was forced to return home for repairs due to mechanical problems.</span></p>
