Right about now we should all have met up outside the Salvation Army in Boston, had a quick check over the bikes and discussion on what we might have forgotten, chatted with whoever made the effort to get up on a Saturday morning to wave us off, and started on the first few meters of our journey around mainland Great Britain.
Allister, Rick, Paul, Edward, Veronica and myself are on our way – The Graham Homes Memorial Motorcycle Ride has begun! This is what we’ll look like from the back…
It is so incredibly sad that Graham isn’t joining us on his BMW R80RT. He will be sorely missed this week – his organisation, his route planning, his mechanical skills, his cereal bar stash, his ability to take the wrong exit on a roundabout. This trip would have been so much better with him. But sadly there is nothing any of us can do, or could have done, about what happened last year. Graham was so sick. This time last year we’d only just found out what was wrong with him. Within a handful of weeks he had gone. So this is our biking tribute. A chance to remember fondly. Our opportunity to do something positive for Graham.
The total is already looking nice and healthy at just under half our target. Please donate what you can.,Every £1 counts and is so important to us, to Cancer Research UK and Macmillan Cancer Support. If you’d rather donate offline then please contact me – or just hand one of us some cash when you see us!
Hopefully I’ll get chance to post later…
Wishing you all the very best for a safe & healthy journey, it’s amazing what you’re all doing :-))
