Adam does London - Paris...

[-Adam-]

From July 25th to the 29th i am going to ride from London - Paris for Action Medical Research...

Who are the UK's most forward thinking charity, and their vision is to work towards a future free from disease and disability. They work with the country's top researchers and to create a healthier future for you, your children and your childrens children.

Their most notable achievements to date include:
> crippling polio in the UK
> they were at the birth of ultrasound scanning
> they also helped to get hip replacements up and running

They are currently working on many projects including:
> premature births
> migraines
> strokes
> asthma
> dyspraxia
> parkinson's
> osteoporosis
> cerebral palsy
> spinal injuries
> epilepsy
> motor neurone disease
> chron's disease
> bronchiolitus
> alzheimer's

...And many many more!

The route is about 300miles, ridden in 4 days. Getting me to Paris on the saturday just before the tour arrives on the sunday.

I have to raise a thousand pounds minimum, of which i have managed to secure pledges for just over £800 in the last week. Due to seemingly catching everyone on a good day in the office where i was working over xmas, plus my other job at the hotel and family etc. So the agreeables was the next logical port of call!

Unfortuately i am now back at uni so wont be around on the clubruns for a while, so cant badger people face to face in the cafe...

...however, please click [url]http://www.action.org.uk/~adamjcotterell[/url]
to sponsor me online.

I believe the ride is not yet full so if anyone else fancies the challenge, go for it!

I look forward to seeing my total steadily rise, so please sponsor me!!!

Thanks,

Adam

Anyway, speaking to some of you on saturday suggested that you missed this post and it rapidly sank to the depths of the forum...

Thank you,

Adam

Adam I am also going to be doing L2P for Action Medical Research.

I am signed up for route 3 with the crossing at Dunkerque. What about yourself?

[-Adam-]

Im on route 2 unfortunately, as it started from wimbledon common it was going to be the easiest to get to.

which simon are you!? i get confused, theres too many. have you been known as simon hulk legs before, if you have, i think i know who you are!?

[SimonJOsborne]

I am the tall Simon on the suitably large Trek 1400. And I can be found in the "social group". Or if I am feeling up to it the easy 17's. I need to put in a bit of work when I get back from Oz mid April.

I wouldn't say my legs are Hulk like maybe She-Hulk like but then again her legs are still pretty buff

[Stu Merckx Man]

hulk leg simon is simon h

[-Adam-]

Simon, are you going to the info day on saturday?

[SimonJOsborne]

Yes, and I am thinking of going late morning. It should be interesting, and it will be a chance to meet some of the other riders before hand.

Shame I won't be able to squeeze the club run in too. Besides I need to get my bike fixed first, as I broke my LH shifter last Saturday. I could use a second bike, pity I am a bit strapped.

[-Adam-]

I was going to do the clubrun anyways, and then try to get up there for about 3ish!

oh well, yeah i was thinking the same, also good to see what goes on with the logistics of it all!

[SimonJOsborne]

I think I will go for about 2:30ish after all. So I will probably see you up there, not that I can put your name to a face...

My bike is still OOC

[Alan M]

good result in the race Adam
