Hello everyone, first of all thank you for reading this thread and I apologize now for my illiteracy, but that isn't why i am asking for help.
Anyway to the point of this thread,
I am 32 years old, last year I was diagnosed with a genetic cancer disorder, which i found out that my entire large intestine was covered in cancerous polyps, which as you would know Cancer is bad :crazy:
So my plan that year (prior to hearing this bad news) was to build up my adventure riding skills so i would someday be confident to complete the Dusty butt adventure ride (2016). Now all that was put on hold when i was diagnosed and my bike riding was effected also, due to the major surgery i underwent (June 2015) which i have now mostly recovered from. (i had my entire large intestine removed).
Now my plan is this, I would like to assemble a team of experienced riders so i can rack their brains in preparing myself for the dusty butt, perhaps some people would be kind enough to meet up with me for rides to build up my experience on adventure riding. i would rank my skills at noobie to novice, i have done some basic offroad riding but lack the skill to stay on the bike on some intermediate/hard sections of tracks :nya:
My end goal. I would like a eventually get a team together to do the 2017 dusty butt, (two or more experienced riders plus me) I would like to use this as a platform for a fundraiser and whilst on the way from the north island to the event and at the event, raise money and awareness for a bowel cancer charity (soon to be chosen). I realize this will not be a cheap thing to do, but i am hoping to gain some sponsors to help fund this, so if any of you have experience in this I would love to also chat to you too.
So please, if any of you are interested in anything i have mentioned above, or just curious and want to ask me questions about what i have put up here please don't hesitate to reply.
I would greatly appreciate it if i could get a group of people together for the purpose of getting out there and building up some experience, learning some new skills, and enjoying life on two wheels. The only problem is i need that one or more experienced rider to put their hand up and say hell yeah, i'll give you some tips. lets go! :woohoo:
ok, thats about it from me for now.... now it's your turn, my eyes and ears are open.
