Why JOGLE

Why JOGLE? And Why on a Brompton Foldup Bicycle? John O Groats to Lands End (JOGLE) is something that every cyclist wants’ to do and I am no different. Its a challenge and it's there so why not!

The main reason for completing the challenge is to raise money for The British Limbless Ex Serviceman's Association (BLESMA) and The British Legion (Jersey).

Blesma is a charity that directly supports all our service men and women who lose limbs, the use of limbs or eyes or the sight of an eye whilst in the service of our country. Blesma are with them whenever they are needed for the rest of their lives.

The British Legion (Jersey) again continues to support Ex Service Personnel both young and old and plays an important role in the welfare of Channel Islanders that have served their country.

Like so many servicemen and women that have served on recent Operations in Iraq and Afghanistan I have seen first hand the injuries sustained to service personnel and the long term injuries that they have to live with for the rest of their lives, long after the conflict has finished

I ask you to donate to Blesma on www.bmycharity.com/brompton or if you want to donate offline to Blesma or The British Legion you can find Sponsorship forms at the following places:

Murphy’s Mens Clothing (West Centre, St Helier)

Big Maggy's Coffee Shop, (26 Burrard Street, St Helier)

Reception at Lloyds TSB (New Street Branch, St Helier)

A big thanks goes to those that have already donated and also to C5 Alliance that are the main sponsors.

D-13 Picked Up Video Camera

Picked up a Digital Camera today courtesy of Alan at Orchid Communications who has lent me his own personal video the camera so I can shoot a Video Diary whilst on the ride. The plan is for CTV to do a short piece on the ride. I must remember not to swear too much!

Next week is the big week for getting everything sorted and packed. As I am travelling Solo unsupported I will need to travel light and with the airlines current weight and baggage allowances it means I am going to have to selective in what I take. As they say "Travel Light- Travel Fast" or "Travel Light and end up rather smelly".

Rest day today as I had a good 40 mile ride yesterday.
