Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

 

 

As I am getting older I am very much aware that I need to get off my well proportioned but largeish butt and do something that may just make a difference. Please help me support Leukaemia and Lymphoma Research.

Wickes have organised this bike challenge for a team of 22 and are also helping pay for me to do the trip.

For my part I have bought a bike and am putting in the remainder of the funds , as well as actually doing the trip.

Here it is then.In September. As a team we will be cycling from Shigatse in Tibet, up to Everest base camp, then on to Kathmandu in Nepal.

This challenge will be done over 8 days and is 500km long.

There are 4 main passes over 5000m high with the highest one being 5253m.

The oxygen levels are about 40% that of sea level.

With temperatures ranging from -20 to the heady heights of +15 celcius.

All these sport adventure type trips get graded and surprise surprise this one is the only one that is 10/10 for difficulty.

There is however a bonus near the end, with the longest downhill decent in the world.

Training is now well underway with a little help from Paul White who is an expert in all things that begin with “Ad” and finish with “venture” or should it just be “pain”. Thanks Paul.
