Hi folks

Prance Larmstrong here!

After far too many beers on a recent sunny day I suggested to the gang in our studio that I could do well in this race, after a couple of years daily cycling around 2 miles from the station and back I feel that I may have some chance at least finishing a heat or two. For my great effort I have decided to hopefully earn a few quid for Cancer Research which is a charity close to my heart. I know times are tight but 'every little helps' so can you kindly sponsor me for competing and who knows I may even finish a lap or two!

ps. Here's the link to the actual event so feel free to come along for the evening, I'll be wearing something orange!http://www.nocturneseries.com/smithfield/foldingbikerace.php

The Folding Bike Race
The competitors, dressed in business attire will wait 30m away from their folded bikes, at the drop of the British Flag the competitors will have to run to their steeds building them as fast as they can and setting off on a 5 lap dash.

In true commuter spirit, winner takes all – there’s no second chance when it comes to catching your train… expect fierce competition, barging and even a little cheating as our commuters race to prove their skills.

This year the challenge will be even tougher as participants will need to battle it out in qualification heats to secure their spot in the grand final.

The eventual winner will be crowned the 2009 Folding Bike Champion and will receive a new top of the range folding bike.

Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Cancer Research UK gets your money faster and, if you’re a UK taxpayer, Justgiving makes sure 25% in Gift Aid, plus a 3% supplement, are added to your donation.
