Hey guys, I am taking part in the Mutual Community Challenge Tour.

This is a punters ride, on the same route as the 'big boys' on Jan 22nd.

I have signed up to get sponsorship/donations for the Cancer Council of SA. It's a disease that must have touched everyone's lives at some point.

My training for the 160km ride has gone pretty well if I say so myself

On Sunday I rode 150km in 5.5 hrs, so I know I can do the distance. With that time, there is little danger of getting caught by Lance

and his crew, who set off about 5 hours after the public. I have ridden more than 2000kms since September.

If any of you could spare a few bucks, I'd really appreciate it. It's all done on line, so I don't have to handle the money.

Thanks in advance

Further to our chat, the cogdoctor will chip in $150 on these babies as a donation to your upcoming ride, and for your generosity behind the scenes. Awesome value for money wheels at $288 with express post. If you agree, I'll buy them outright tonight and we can argue the split later.

Oh and here's by far the best set of conti's on e-bay. Sub $100 for the best race tyres I've ever run. Still have a force on the front, it's covered a lot of kms now! Get buyin' to allow for shipping! They'll be good for 4-5k as well.
