Why?
At the age of 12 weeks my son Morgan was diagnosed with a critical heart defect. He was immediately admitted to Bristol Children's Hospital, and 3 days later had a 5 hour operation.
He received 1 to 1 care following the operation in BCH's excellent Paediatric Intensive Care Unit. A level of care that simply could not have been improved.
Morgan is now a healthy and strong 4 year old, but I know that without the swift and expert actions of a dedicated group of people he certainly would not of reached even his first birthday.
This is the latest endeavour I'm undertaking to help the hospital extend this level of care to even more children in critical need.
What?
The challenge is a simply one. 1000 miles on my 1200GS within 24 hours following the rules laid down by the IBA.

The route starts from my home and will pass through or close to -
Stratford-upon-Avon – Birmingham – Manchester – Carlisle – Glasgow - Fort William – Edinburgh – Berwick-upon-Tweed – Newcastle – Middlesbrough – Harrogate – Leeds – Doncaster – Sheffield – Nottingham – Leicester – Coventry – Banbury – Bicester – Oxford – Woodstock - Shipston-on-Stour
The attempt is scheduled for 10th June - but this is subject to weather and work conditions!!
Can I Help?
For sure - in one of two ways.
1) Just give cash. Follow the link at the bottom of this post. £10 is 1% of the total I'm trying to raise. I only need 100 people to do this and I'm there. Any small amount will help.
2) The two main challenges with this ride will be fatigue and boredom. To do the right average speeds it'll be mainly motorway riding. To relieve some of this boredom I'm looking for anyone who'd be interested in riding some of the route with me. If this tickles your fancy, then drop me a PM or mail me on saddlesoreATpetrolhedDOTcom
Any questions or offers of help gratefully received!!!
