"Going Live"

I’ve finally decided to press the GO button on my latest hair brained scheme, for a couple of months now this blog has been sitting on my laptop just waiting for me to post it on social media thus crossing the point of no return and committing myself to a 4 year challenge to pedal my way around the 92 Counties of the British Isles. My travels will begin close to home with a 104 mile ride around my “home” county of Warwickshire, the planned departure date for this first foray is Friday 28th October accompanied by my good friend Rocky Pearson.

Although the primary purpose of this challenge is just to get out and ride through Britain’s’ best country lanes, climb its’ most challenging hills, and eat the best cake in the land I have also set up a fundraising page with the Midlands Air Ambulance Charity and hope that my challenge will make people aware of the marvellous job the volunteers do and also raise a few quid to help keep the service flying.

If anybody fancies joining me on any of the upcoming routes just let me know, the plan is to make each route a leisurely affair taking in the sights and sounds, taking a few snaps, indulging in a couple of cake stops and a bit of local history rather than a head down TT effort to get round each County in under 6 hours!

I’m new to this blogging lark so any (constructive) criticism is welcome.
