Arctic Ride for Cancer

[chef jules]

Hi everybody,
my first thread , a bit new to tech stuff but here goes.
In aid of Breast Cancer I plan to ride solo to Arctic Norway . Camping and self catering is the order of the day due to tight budget.
The trip will take in 16 countries including France Belgium Holland Germany Denmark Norway Sweden Finland ,Estonia ,Latvia , Lithuania ,Poland Czech Rep, Austria, Italy and home thro France.
The reason for trip, Cos its in my head and has to be done . More importantly tho for Breast Cancer Research. My wife Jackie is recovering from breast cancer, all very positive I might add. The hospital in which she was cared for is Clatterbridge Cancer Hospital in Merseyside. I intend to blog the trip daily on Horizons and also on my own site Solobiketour4cancer.com . This in the stages of being designed.
Grant kindly gave me permission to use the HU logo for this project. Tee shirts have been printed and the Just Giving web site will be implemented for donation collection.
The trip starts from the hospital grounds in June 2012. I know a long way off, but got to start planning and learning. The only thing that is ready is me and the bike DL 650 V Strom, just cant wait to get on the road.
Somebody will have to show me how to include photos, god its frustrating!
Hopfully bump in some Hubbers on the road [ perhaps that should be refrased ]

Dont know how Chris, so here it is again . I think Ive found how to reduce photo files. Lets see. We didnt have computers in my school in the 50s and 60s. Catching up with rest of you, but Im unbeatable with a frying pan!
