We are riding over 6,500km to Georgia (the country, not US state as this has been asked a lot!) in the Poles of Inconvenience Rally where you have to complete it with a bike smaller than 125cc so we chose to use the mighty Honda Grom, small in engine size but also small in stature.

Aidan will return to Bulgaria and ship the bike back to UK but Brian will ride the full journey home.

Except for the UK we will exclusively not use Motorways to make it more difficult but also to see the glorious countryside.

Intense conflict in Ukraine is threatening the lives and livelihoods of civilians across the country, causing millions to flee. Homes have been destroyed. Essential services have been hit. Families have been separated. People have been injured. Lives have been lost. DEC charities and their local partners are in Ukraine and across the border in the neighbouring countries. They are working to meet the immediate needs of all people fleeing with food, water, medical assistance, protection and trauma care.£30 could provide essential hygiene supplies for three people for one month£50 could provide blankets for 4 families to keep them warm£100 could provide emergency food for two families for one month
