Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I have done several cycle races in my time (Amashova, and 94.7 cycle challenge to name a few), and thoroughly enjoyed them! Training has been tough, but it's great to conquer 106km on a bike! Feels great, though at the time, one would beg to disagree ;)

I've managed to convince my dad to join me in this years 40km ride. Dad, (less young than he used to be, seen above in the photo, hasn't ridden a bike for about 30 years?! He's been coerced into getting back into the saddle, with pleas to attempt the 40km ride. So far, training has been slow, but steady. Easy does it right?

I just don't want dad to "cave" at the last moment and not ride! He's got until November to keep up the motivation and riding for a cause can help that, and "force" him to continue training! Let's cheer him on!

Rhino Poaching in South Africa is a BIG problem. 2012 has seen some significant arrests, with the courts being far less inclined to grant bail on poachers. Thus - there is hope! But still a long way to go. Donating to the cause, will not only help, but motivate my dad (fisherman, banker and guitar man) to attempt (and finish!)something "new" and challenging. GO DAD!
