Maintenance / repairs to the bike
  • Apart from losing the brakes for a short period of time when they overheated after neotiating Lynmouth Gorge and Porlock Hill, the bike behaved impeccably with no repairs being needed during the trip.  Only the odometer cable snapped towards the end of the trip and needs replacing.
  • However, since arriving home, I have had to replace both tyres, brake pads and rear light bulb in order to get the bike through its MoT. 
Money raised so far
I has set a target of raising £500 for the Alzheimer's Society and am pleased to say that this target has been exceeded and the amount raised so far currently stands at £630.    I know there are some out there who are planning to donate but just have not got round to it yet and you will be relieved to hear that you can still donate at this time by clicking the link to my Justgiving web page !
