Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
Hello!!!
You may be here because you visited my Half Marathon page http://www.justgiving.com/samanthabuckmaster1/ and decided it wasn't for you and prefer to donate your hard earned cash to this page. It will still go to the wonderful Bowel Cancer Uk charity. I plan a 200 mile bike ride from Walthamstow to Accrington in September, camping 3 nights and arriving at my home town on the 4th. I am "roughing" it as they say, alone with my questionable sanity.
A little rhyme to set the scene.
4 years ago I cycled a long way
asthma struck and on the floor a lay
boyfriend said "stop being lazy"
my feelings for him became somewhat hazy!
two hundred and thirty miles
5 days and we didn't get piles
3 miles up hill then 3 down
the adrenalin took away the frown
Now a bit older and more wise
Bigger arse and stronger thighs
Team bike, tent and buck (me)
Please send me lots of luck
200 miles in 4 days
Many roads and many ways
It will probably rain an awful lot
I will take Vasceline in a big pot.
Stop 1. 50 mile mark. Bletchley/ Old Stratford, Milton Keynes, Buckinghamshire.
Stop 2. 100 mile mark. Dadlington/ Hinkley/ Nuneaton, Warwickshire
Stop 3. 150 mile mark. Leek/ Stoke-on-trent, SW Peak District, Staffordshire
Stop 4. 200 mile mark. Rising Bridge, Accrington, Lancashire
I will be eternally grateful on behalf of Bowel Cancer UK for any donation. I have yet to decide whether to take along my peach horse jockey outfit, more due to the fact the pants are too small. I suppose the more you give the more you get. Suggestions on making this experience hirrarious on my part are welcome.
Cheers!!!
