😯meaning I've probably lost about 50kg in total,
I only weigh 60 in total!
I reckon a Girvin Flexstem would have been the perfect match for that Thudbuster. 🙂
Good luck mate, I'm sure it will be amazing. I've done some long tours before such as the great divide route in america and you come away with some great memories. I know it can be an arse to raise money so good on you for doing it. I would recommend taking a shit load of chamois cream.
Looks like a nice holiday and a charitable donation,
I know loads of people who would just take the holiday.
Enjoy yourself Ian Its a beautiful place.
"You..[he} are spending hundreds for every £ the charity gets"
So in essence, he's spending hundreds or more of his own money to go on a really good extended bike ride that most of us would love to but can't and he's going to raise some money for a charity as well?
The (or your) problem therefore is?....
I hope you have a really good time Ian.
I think TJ doesn't like people having fun unless it's officially TJ sanctioned.
Mind, he's got a perfectly fair point about the cost 'efficiency' of the whole endeavour and clearly got a bit of a bee in his bonnet about the original attempt to justify putting some of the donations towards the costs. Ian evidently realised that wasn't considered acceptable by most so decided against but unfortunately TJ just can't seem to let it go.
this thread is worth reading for the tags alone! 😀
😆
I don't really post on these sort of things, but Ian: good luck,. TJ: you have issues, seek help.
