Glitter and a lorry, what a strange party

Well well as Helen has mentioned what a busy week. From visits to Zoe's, consumer test with mixed results new team member radio interest and more.

First of all Sue and Rich went over to Zoe's to visit Alfie, who now has a team named after him. It was the first time we had been upstairs to see him whilst he had been there. The staff were sound and made us welcome. Slightly crackers may also be a good way of describing them as one was covered in glue playing with the kids, she stopped shy of rolling herself in glitter and calling her self a Christmas card.

They are revamping the hospice, so its even more important that people dig deep and chuck the team some pennies, it all counts.

I have also bagged another long run this time 37 miles in 2 hours 15 which i thought was good. I also carried out my first consumer test of a Topeak saddle bag. The results are as follows, if you require a saddle bag that will fit a tool kit, mobile phone a waterproof and a Doncaster Rovers season ticket in then buy this. However it WILL fall off and it WILL get run over by a lorry!!!!!!

If you want a mobile phone that can still work after falling off a bike, being run over by a lorry before coming to rest in the bottom of a ditch then NOKIA is the brand for you! every cloud!

Welcome to the new team members Elaine, Rich and Scott who are bringing a mountain of new ideas, a wealth of fund raising experience and not to mention an air of organisation and professionalism, just what we needed as we were thinking of winging the whole event.

Final piece of news is that a presenter from a well know north east radio station will be joining us for a leg of the event. More details will follow we are sure that this will help raise the profile of the ride and Zoe's place. Keep clicking on the adverts we get cash
