Full update to come, but here are some of the pictures from the week…
Nearly There
It’s only a couple of days to go until I fly out now. Training has taken a knock with a very heavy time at work and the bike still needs stripping down and servicing, but overall I think I’m ready. Lots of advice is starting to spring up on the different forums about what bike to take and the best strategy. I’m sticking with those who say big, heavy and safe with lots of travel - maybe not the most competitive but hopefully more use on the down’s

About
I started this website to record my progress as I try to compete in the Mega Avalanche in July 2008, said to be one of the worlds toughest mountain bike races. As I write this in December 2007 I have zero downhill racing experience and pretty mediocre fitness.
The reason for attempting this is to raise at least £2,500 for the Severn Hospice, a charity that provides fantastic care for those with serious illnesses in the Shropshire and Mid Wales area.
If you would like to donate then please visit my charity page, or to find out more look here.
And if you are wondering about the title of my site, it was the first words from the mouth of my best mate as I told him what I was going to attempt...
