so i have now put the deposit sown on the bike and couldn't feel more revealed about it .
its all starting now.

now its just time to pay off the other half buy the bags, insurance and everything else.

so this month is the month i get my bike, the surly long haul trucker, im about £500 away from being able to afford it but with the sale of T-shirts and items from my room i think its will be alright.

but i am still looking for sponsors to help this ambition a reality, so if you own a business that would like to receive photos of your company logo in different locations of the EU then get in contact with me - sikesmw@yahoo.com or sikesmw@hotmail.co.uk.

alternately you could buy a T-shirt from the shop page of my website.

so finally sorted out the edge event

its going to be 3/4 local bar staff playing easy going acoustic
in the edge of the wedge - WED 13th of January

check out my facebook for more info -

SO its a new year and i have now started to write my first ever diary - trying to record every days events leading up to and during my year cycling.


need to start planing an event at the edge of the wedge thanks to revolver - spikey mark (legend)


and need to find a new bank account that well charge me the least while im away.

So today i started to deliver T-shirts


exciting - still got a long way to make up the money they cost but once thats covered its profit towards the bike


you can now buy them from here - go have a look on the shop page
