In September 2012 I reach a significant birthday.

To prove to myself I'm not dead, I'll be cycling the 1000+ miles between Lands End and John O'Groats.  I've not worked out the full schedule yet, but I'm looking at 8-9 days on the road, and I'm confident it will hurt.  At the end, there will be a party. With beer.

I've decided to raise money for War on Want.  Read about the charity here http://www.waronwant.org/

I'll be blogging as I go, and Sunny at www.liberalconspiracy.org has promised me a daily slot.  I'll be focusing less on the pain - though I'm sure it'll get a mention - and more on why War on Want needs to do what it does, and working through some of the big issues to do with global economic justice and solution. Or something. 

More later, as plans are developed, but please feel free to get the donation pledges started.
