Sponsorhip for London to Brighton Off Road Ride 22nd Sept

Danny McGee · #1 07-09-2012

Hi All,

I will be doing the London to Brighton bike but with a bit of a difference. It’s going to be Off Road (of course). It’s a 75 Mile ride through some pretty tough terrain apparently so no doubt it’s going to be hellish.

I’ve been training for about 6 months so am looking at doing it between 5-8 hours so want to push myself for a decent time.

I would like to ask the kind people of Oople to sponsor me in this quest. I have a very personal reason for doing this event as my Dad has had several heart attacks over the years, 6 in total

. The most recent was this year when I was at the Stotfold National. I had a phone call from Mum saying that Dad was in hospital. Since that weekend I’ve been planning this event.

Below is a link to my page, if you could spare any money for this I would be eternally grateful.

Danny

I think your doing a fantastic job,and sorry to hear about your father.

I'd be interested to know what bike you own? i do a lot of Mountain biking myself,great fun. I ride down at Swinley forest.

75 MILES is A Heck of LOT!,Especially for a mountain bike. Me and my friend do about 10 miles every weekend or so and it KILLS us. Its much easier on a road bike,(higher geared and no terrain,just plain smooth road

) but with Mountain biking you have rocks,gravel,mud etc etc. ITS VERY DIFFICULT!.

Anyway,i wish you all the best of luck.

Thanks.

i actually did 60miles with a laden bike trailer to go to a r/c scale crawler meet. it was quite fun actually. tiring but fun.
