Enduro Africa 2007 - the longest journey

OK - Day 1

The longest journey starts with a single step. (And then you swing your leg over, kick the starter and rev the engine). (Though that sounds ruder than it was meant to!)

I've signed up for Enduro Africa 2007 to raise money and motorbikes for a fantastic charity Riders for Health that delivers medecine and other aid to remote parts of Africa by the best (and sometimes only) means possible.

We set off for Africa in November 2007 to run in the bikes and have a brilliant 10 days riding through some of the best and most challenging countryside in the world. But first we have to raise as much money as possible for this great cause.

So that starts here today.

I've opened a Paypal account and we're taking donations. Details to follow shortly. Or you can send a cheque / note to me.

One date for your diary: Tomorrow (sorry for short notice) is the Day of Champions at the British Bike GP. (Riders for Health decription page here). The sole purpose is a unique opportunity to raise money for Riders for Health. Good luck folks.
