I’m just wondering if some of you lovely lot could help me : )
right so for a couple of years ive been felling a bit sorry for myself, became very withdrawn etc, its took some time (and a little help from someone on the forum) to realise that, I’m very fortunate and blessed for what i have, I’m healthy, have a roof over my head food in my belly etc, and at one with myself so to speak. So now I’m looking to help others who are less fortunate than myself
So to get to the point, I like to ride hence being on here, why not ride for a good cause, I thinking of a non stop lejog or a lap around the uk, which would be rode like a normal tour ride.
Lejog has been done a lot, so ive got to think of something to make it a little different and make people want to dig deep into the wallets/purses. I’m thinking of a non stop ride, I would have to stop for food and other necessities (it might sound impossible but with the right people in the know, the right training physical and mental, it should be possible) this is just an idea at the minute, so don’t shoot me down before ive left the ground
What do I need to do is what I want to know
I would have to organise the training including diet and whatnot, scientific sports person/’s would be needed
Sort out the bike and route obviously, and a support car
Get publicity to raise as much money as possible (ive a few charities in mind)
Get a paypal account so people can donate
Am I missing anything out, all feedback is welcome
Thanks and stay safe on those roads people
