A new computer always means I forget to check my e-mail for ages, so I’ve been doing some catching up this evening. Got this one from Dan, who’s doing some hefty miles for a decent cause, and on a decent sized wheel. It doesn’t take much to throw some money towards good stuff, so support a BnCer and flip your credit card towards the computer. You’ll feel good about it.<\/p>\n

Freeway Penny Farthing Hike, 20 March, 2011<\/strong><\/p>\n

When I registered for the Freeway Bike Hike this week I noticed this \u201cEverydayhero\u201d link pop up and I got a little annoyed by it.\u00a0 However, on reflection, I have had some close calls with asthma sufferers over the years including one young fellow in Esperance that I thought was gone forever (fortunately he lived to breath another day).\u00a0 Therefore, in the interests of community spirit (and because some dude on a penny farthing in the Eastern States apparently raised $100,000 for asthma research), I thought \u201clet\u2019s give it a go.\u201d<\/p>\n

For the uninitiated, the ride starts at Kwinana and finishes at Joondalup, a distance of 60 kms.\u00a0 Of course that leaves one 60 kms from one\u2019s car, so the obvious solution is to ride back to Kwinana.\u00a0 In my case, that\u2019s 120 kms glued to the saddle on a 55\u201d fixed-wheel, one speed, hi-wheel bike.<\/p>\n

I welcome your donation so, if you feel so inclined, please go to http:\/\/www.everydayhero.com.au\/daniel_talbot_9<\/a> and make a pledge.<\/p>\n

Feel free to forward this onto anyone you please.\u00a0 If, on the other hand, unsolicited emails requesting donations give you the shits, please disregard this short missive.<\/p>\n

Have a nice day, Dan.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
