It's cheaper than flying, but.......
Ok, so we went shopping for our panniers, racks, handlebar bags, very lightweight tents, sleeeping bags, saddles & other treats (andy's bike!), but little did we realise, when we agreed to do this ride-malarky, that these items were just the tip of the iceberg!
With 16,000 calories of food/drink required EACH DAY, camp-sites, bike bits, flights back and ferries, this is turning out to cost even more than it would to drive.
Granted we're expecting a lot of fun, a HUGE sense of achievement at the end and some corkin' muscles to show the girls in Monaco... but we're still struggling to raise the cash for the last bits and pieces to enable us to raise all this money for our charity.
We've set up a Paypal donation account on this page to be completely separate from the charity page (we wanted to make sure every single penny donated there goes straight to the B.I.R.D. charity).
With the Paypal button below, you can support us in a practical way. Just click Donate, give us your name, pledge an amount, and let us know what you'd like us to put it towards.
Things we'd like help with are:
- 4x Inner Tubes £5 each
- 2x Kevlar Pucture Resistant Tyres £15 each
- 2x Ferry Tickets £24.00 each
- 6x Lucozade Electrolyte Powder £7 each
- 4x Energy Supplement Packs £13 each
- 1x Pre-departure Bike Service £45.00
- 1x Heavy Duty Battery for GPS & Phone Charging En-route £18
- 1x Battery Charger £15.00
- 2x Flights £54.50 each
The Paypal system will accept secure donations from a Paypal account and from Credit/Debit cards too.
