London 2 Monaco Charity Bike ride

On 31st August 2009, 2 good friends of mine - Andy Miller & Jon Shorter are riding 1000 miles from London to Monaco to raise awareness and fundraise for the Brain Injury Rehabilitation & Development charity.

Throughout the route, they'll be carrying tents, sleeping bags, clothing, food & bike repair gear.

The route is still being determined but will be loosely based around:

Calais –> Amiens –> Paris –> Lyon –> Avignon –> Aiz-en-Provence –> Fr?jus –> Monaco

The mileage will be around 1000 miles, with a daily target of approximately 100 miles. That'll require a daily intake of around 8000 calories and a few rest days en-route. Still, they hope to complete the journey within 2 weeks which will give them another week to try their French on the beaches and Caf?s along the French riviera. They'll be flying back from Nice after the 3 weeks, straight into Liverpool (John Lennon) airport.

Please take this opportunity to visit their website at:

Please show some support by sponsoring them. You can even keep an eye on their blog/satellite tracking & leave them a few words of encouragement in their Guestbook as they're cycling. The event will use GPS tracking to allow you to follow their progress in real-time from their "Watch-Live" page.

They'll be updating this page and blog as the departure date gets closer so please do bookmark their site and check back every now and again. If you're near London on 31st August, they would love you to call over and cheer them on!!

Andy and Jon thank you for you kindness and support in advance! :smthumbup

How are you old chap ? Where are you and what you up to ? Most old timers will remember you  

Now then Chudmeister.

Yes I'm still lurking in the darkness on here. I'm currentyly driving an Evo V RS but will always have a soft spot for mk1s. I really do fancy picking up another at some point.

I'm living and working in Chester now and all is well. How are things with you?
Who's still knocking about on here who I'll know?
