Will you support my ride this Blue September? Let's tackle prostate cancer together

This September I've set myself an epic fundraising challenge to help bring down prostate cancer and support our mates. 

Here's the gameplan: 

I ride a heaps long distance to inspire you to dig deep towards lifesaving education, research and support.

Let's tackle prostate cancer together. Donate now. Because prostate cancer is killing people in our community. It's the most diagnosed cancer for blokes in NZ. 

Your support helps provide research into treating and diagnosing prostate cancer, along with support for people affected by a diagnosis. Plus you'll be helping raise awareness so more blokes know to get tested when they need to.

Donate now.

Blue September - Week 4

Wednesday 30th Sep

Target Reached!!  28 days of biking every day, and I got to 740kms - with 2 days to spare.  I'm not sure if I'll bike the last 2 days - getting to be a bit of a habit, so I might.The highlight of the week was the Multicultural Breakfast that raised over $600.00.  Huge thank-you to the team, especially Viki, who's idea it was, and also to contact the Courier Newspaper, which lifted my profile, and is the reason for such an awesome fundraising amount.  Thank you.

Blue September - Week 3

Monday 21st Sep

Another very good week - on the bike every day, and got in 203 kms.  A running total now of 575km, so am starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel.  Getting very weary some days, but the fundraising keeps my spirits up - $2650 so far, and more to come.  Multicultural Aoraki breakfast this Friday - really appreciate their support.

Week 2

Tuesday 15th Sep

An epic week - got 213kms on the bike, and a running total now of 373km - just over halfway after 14 days (and a ride EVERY day so far!!).The bum is getting harder, and the legs are getting stronger - but still have a few hard days.The fundraising is keeping me motivated - nearly $2500 now, so please keep it coming - and don't forget, there is a breakfast at the end of the month - please book if you are interested.

Blue September - Week 1

Monday 7th Sep

The first 7 days, and I got in 7 rides - although Sunday was on the indoor trainer as it was raining.  I managed 160kms, vs my weekly target of 175km, so not so bad.  A bit sore and tired, and am hoping I will get conditioned to this, and it will start to get easier.  Thanks so much for all the support - its fantastic, and very motivating.  When I'm biking into a cold Easterly I think of those who are supporting me, and those we will be helping.Roll on week 2.  Les.

Bikes

Monday 24th Aug

I've got the bikes out and ready to go - the mountainbike, and the road-bike, and also blew the cobwebs off the indoor trainer for wet days.

However, I haven't been out on a bike ride yet!

The Targets

Friday 21st Aug

As well as biking 739kms, I am going to do 739 Press-ups and 739 Sit-ups during the month - I hope!!

I worked out that the distance is the same as biking from Timaru to Invercargill - and back!

However, I also worked out that if I can bike EVERY day it is only 25kms per day.  

The reality is I probably won't be able to do it every day - work, weather etc, so it will be a matter of trying to bike as many days as I can, and go as far as I can after work and before it gets dark.  Looking forward to the challenge.

Tackle prostate cancer together.
