    £1500 raised for SONGO!

     

    The actual task of riding for 22hrs+ seems less challenging than collecting in the pledges, but that is now completed and I have forwarded the £1500 to the JAG Foundation in South Africa, who administer the SONGO project. 

     

    Its funny how time changes your perspective, just after the 24 hrs solo I didn't think there was anyway I would do another - but a month or so on ....... maybe!

    The MINI ADVENTURE continues 

    Welcome to the home of MINI Adventure Racing. Our aim is to help promising Mountain Bike riders reach their full potential, through providing the support, equipment and motivation they need to perform at their best. 

     

    We are racing with Orbea in 2010

    The exciting news for the 2010 is that the team will be riding the latest Alma full carbon hardtails from Spanish maestros Orbea. The new Alma, which is the Spanish word for “Soul”, is striking both in terms of its looks and technical features and is the bike that 2009 World Cup winner, and current Olympic Champion Julian Absalon is riding.
