NWB Memorial Challenge 2014 for the Fallen to benefit the NWAA.

I would have loved to get involved with this, however i dont have the money allowances to travel to these places nor the time :-(

 

Need to get back on my feet.

Just wanted folk to realise the next set of locations were out.

 

Is there any issue in waiting till December and going on a countrywide tour for a week and getting them all in one go? Bit more environmentally friendly than multiple trips to the south coast or scotlandshire

 

Sure that's not the case Kev, well not in my case, I wouldn't have registered otherwise. I'm working as much as I can now and taking the bike off the road for a bit so I can have lots of time off in the Spring/Summer to participate.

 

C-J, not my idea to do a staggered release.
To be honest, I was just a little surprised not to see a post 24 hours after the 2nd batch release. So used the question as a "bump".

 

The staggered release was my suggestion, I thought it might renew interest on a monthly basis.
I also suggested a handicap for naked twins that wasn't taken up
I had a busy weekend myself , but a got a week off for half term soon. I'll post the video.

 

That is an awesome idea!
Maybe have more local places to the NW tho???

Don't see your bike in the picture mate.

 

That's because I was eating fish and chips thinking where shall I park the bike to get a photo.
