About to embark on the Longest Day Up Challenge

Well its the 19th June and I'm about to embark on the Longest Day Up Challenge. I'm both excited and nervous at the same time. Louise wished me well but I know secretly she's being strong for me and would probably much rather have me where she can see me for the next couple of days. But she knows I need to do this we have always supported each other and yes long distance motorcycle rides have there dangers but I wouldn't be me If I sat at home all the time getting old without ever taking a chance. Its who I am.

I've arranged to meet Charlie at Lymm services at 15:00 today where we will ride to Bristol stay overnight in Bristol and then set off for Lands End on Thursday. Whilst on my way to Lands End I've arranged to meet my aunty Zelda at Cornwall Services for a spot of launch. My bike might only have cost me the princely sum of £500 but to me at this point its the best bike I've ever owned. It feels good and I've every confidence in it. My doubts are in me my staying power and mental attitude. Clothing wise Im in the Triumph Malvern suit which is just amazing.

So with a bit of luck I will complete the challenge and raise a few quid for a good cause to all those that have donated so far a big thanks. I must mention in particular Suzuki Racing for supplying a whole raft of genuine parts and Cambria tyres for supplying the rubber.

Subject to technology you should be able to track my progress Friday on Facebook. But if it doesn't work I wont be stopping to fix it !!
