My story

 

Thank you for visiting my fundraising page. Please dig deep and sponsor me online.

I've set myself the target of riding around the coast of Eire and Northern Ireland on the bike you can see here... you can keep up to date with how I get on on my webpages at  http://www.cyclemagic.org.uk/irelandtallbiketour.htm

Oh, this isn't an organised thing. It's just me on my own.

I've never been on a bike tour before, I've not been to Ireland since I was a small boy, and I'm scared of heights. I don't like Guinness, either...

I'll be setting off from Dublin at the start of May as it's supposed to be the driest month... and aiming to get back to Dublin after my clockwise tour on the 9th of June...

I'd better thank Simon and Roger at http://www.cyclemagic.org.uk  for the use of the bike and their support. They do great work in Leicester and throughout Britain (and Italy, and possibly Mozambique, too) promoting cycling for all kinds of people... Give them a vist and support them too, if you can...

Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Shelter will receive your money faster and, if you are a UK taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you.

So please sponsor me now!

Many thanks for your support.
