    **doing the bump**

    Well, that's as close to dancing as I ever get :rolleyes: :p

    A little update. Because, ya know, I like talking about me :twisted:

    My bike has arrived and is already broken. A pedal cross-threaded after I did 18 miles in training, and I have to get it repaired this weekend. So instead, I'm swimming for training for now :)

    and @ Shambles - I have changed the route, and I just need to update it on the website. I'm including the Severn Bridge crossing. So I'll make damn sure to include pictures of me standing with my bike next to a 'Welcome to Wales' sign. I'm incorporating it into the route, and not changing from 8 days, if I can help it.

    So how is the training going? Did you get the bike fixed yet? Checked your blog but you have not updated it for a while.

    Hey Hun,

    This seems an alot of hard work and dedication is needed to pull it off, so all the best to ya! I'd never be fit enough to do something like this (sponsored pub crawl be best i could do!).

    Maybe ya could try stopping at Air Ambulance ststions near where ya route takes ya, let em know in advance and maybe get more sponsors that way? Then they could get local radio and press coverage for ya? I know theres one in Devon / exeter area.

    How do you go about getting sponsors for this? Did you just approach companies as say "hey sponsor me for a bike ride?"

    Pretty much, Twizz.

    I drafted a letter which I sent out, basically outlining what I was doing, and why I thought it would be good for local companies to get involved.

    Mitzs - blog update coming soon :) the bike has just been fixed, and I'm taking it back out on the road when I get back from Lymington on Monday. Then I should be out pretty regular, seeing as I need to clock up some serious miles between now and April!

    Still haven't got any sponsors from CF... :rolleyes: :ohmy :tongue

    Ok, I will keep an eye on your blog hun. Now you guys get to sponsoring! If you can afford to hit the pubs every night after work, you can afford to sponsor and miss a week of pub hopping and actually go home and see what your wives look like before you have that first pint! 8)

    I can't miss a week of the pub! I need those beer gogles every night when i come home to my Girlfriend,,,, with out them i'm scared what i might see!!! (what i mean is she might be more beautiful with out them and i would get blinded by her beauty and i don't wanna go blind that way!!) :twisted:

    Arroryn, Have you thought about contacting the local TV stations? This sort of thing they'd give some air time to in the local news...
