Another Sponsor

Not only do I have financial backing now from WSP www.wspgroup.com but also Cycleopedia based in Surbition in Surrey have helped me out to. They're kitting me out with all the stuff I need to get me through the journey.

Check out their website www.cycleopedia.co.uk they're a great bunch with loads of knowledge between them.

As i said they're based in Surbiton and if you're considering a new bike I urge you to give them a ring.

Also Owayo custom sports www.owayo.com are in the process of finalising the design of the tunics and shorts for the journey. So far the design looks like this.

A bit more info

The arrival date is the 1st Septemeber 2007 and a huge party is being planned.

It's taking place at The Well public house in Fethard and the more people that turn up the more money we have a chance of raising. We will be raffling off the bike see pic below amongst other prizes.

Also, I'm still looking for accompanying riders to join me for as long as they want, whether it be am hour or a day or even longer. email me at peter.townsend@sky.com for more info on where i'll be on what day.

The above email address can also be used if you want more info.

4 months to go

Have been a busy beaver the last few months, bought the bike that I'll be doing the trip on and eventually become the main raffle prize. Got a Trek '07' 1200.

Done my first 'lengthy' training session the other day, got 107 miles under my belt now.

Things are moving forward now with regard to getting the tunics sorted to.

All thats left to do know is start getting the sponsorships in finalise the route.
