    Did you hear that?
    The sound of a pin drop as it sinks in that someone just called a GN a bigger bike.

    It has been acknowledged that some students etc will not be able to buy a bike exclusive to the challenge and where it would not defeat the purpose of the challenge (to show that all bikes can be fun regardless of size) exemptions will be given.

    If funding for the trip is required get some personal sponsors, parents are good when they see you out doing something constructive such as fund raising.
    The awesomeness of this event must have made me forget
    I'm keen, but I would need to know a bit more before I signed my life away (costs, route etc.).

    The Planned route is a few pages back, posted by Ixion.

    Costs are pretty much up to you, you contribute a small amount for shared food/lodgings, and whatever you can to donate for the cause.

    Read the whole thread though, it's good reading.

    sponsor can put whatever signwriting they are willing to pay for on the bikes in exchange for a donation to the cause.

    Discuss.

    still looking...and have a few contenders!!

    but my main concern atm is getting rawberry back on the road... should be within the next 2 weeks
    I've learnt to hide the pain inside, open the throttle and ride away.

    So would we.
    There is still some planning to be done, re how we will manage sponsorships etc.


    Have your say in where we should stay and what an appropriate cost is now.

    Why don't you stop asking in the thread and state your case in a pm?
