Rickmeister, I won't speak for Nick my copilot but my very finest, cleanest Fiver is yours at the Shampoo bar. If not collected there, it's still yours! Then I'll put the arm on Nick...  Bill |

If your missus willslap Trayboy, I'm sure we can raise a very sizeable contribution, as long as you can afford the quarantine. Rusty |

I will happily set up my chip van at the finish line and offer battered sausages and pickled eggs at cost price.

Now, there's a wheeze. I went to the webpage to stump up my fiver, which was quite easy to do (with a credit card of course).
During the interrogation it asks if you are a taxpayer, to which most of us would say yes, upon which actual amount donated shot up to £6.41. Good old Inland Revenue I say!
So, although it might suit you better to pass on a few grubby notes in June, Rick, and more imprtantly the worthy cause, will do considerably better if you do it through the page...
Good Luck with the fundraising Rick...

I've given too but kept it anonymous as I don't want anyone to know that I do a lot of good work for charadee...
Quick question Rick: You seem to have a trick alloy framed racer, whereby every spare ounce has been pared off the bike to reduce weight and thus increase speed and acceleration. Don't think me impertinent, but could not a similar thing have been done to the rider?

LOL!!! Yes indeed, that it what I am trying to achieve!! Those of you that have met me before at Lemons may not notice but I have dropped two trouser sizes (cue comment by Big H??) since last year's event - so I am getting there! Call it the onset of the inevitable mid-life crisis if you like but I am suddenly (after all these years!!!!) concerned about my appearance and trying to do something about it!! Stable doors and horses that have already bolted spring swiftly to mind! |

Rick, have used your site found it better than trying to remember to pay up in June, good luck with the event. Take no notice of the weight thing, what they forget chubbies go down hill faster.
Take care.
Brian.

Hi Rick.
There seems to be a number of lightweights contributing to the cause on this website......I mean a miniscule fiver......however i will donate a tenner for the sponsored cause as that seems to be the norm at our local school fundraising these days.
I will pay you at the Shampoo bar on the Saturday night......or send me a PM and I will send you a cheque.
