I am raising money for Diabetes UK, and I would really welcome your support.

The World Naked Bike Ride was on 10 June 2006. It was to protest against oil dependency, and there were many rides worldwide on this day. Last year the London ride alone was supported by over 250 riders. I cycled in Brighton, starting at The Level (BN2 3FX) at 10:30, along with about 160 others. See worldnakedbikeride.org/uk for more details. Please dig deep to support the work of Diabetes UK.

Take a moment to visit my online fundraising page and make a donation. It's really easy - you can donate by credit or debit card at http://www.justgiving.com/theblissride, and join me in supporting Diabetes UK. If you'd rather sponsor the removal of my beard and moustache than my clothes - you can donate by credit or debit card at http://www.justgiving.com/theblissbeard, and join me in supporting Diabetes UK.

All donations are secure and sent electronically to Diabetes UK. If you are a UK taxpayer, Justgiving will automatically reclaim 28% Gift Aid on your behalf, so your donation is worth even more.

I have now posted a report of the day - with photographic evidence - at http://www.theblisspages.com/cms.php?mbid=411. Also see my poem 'the naked cyclist' at www.theblisspages.com/cms.php?mbid=413.

Thank you,

Mike Bliss
