Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page:-)
I have been searching for my ultimate adventure this year, and was lucky enough to get in to the Craft Bike TRANS ALPS 2010 - this covers a grueling 8 day mountain bike stage race - covering 600km and a vertical gain of 19,500m across the beautiful mountain ranges of Germany, Austria, Switzerland and Italy! Lots of mountains, lots of climbing and LOTS of lycra! http://www.bike-magazin.de/event/bike-transalp/
To make all of my training worthwhile and to keep me going over those hectic climbs - when the legs are burning acid, the mind is hallucinating normality and the wandering thoughts of when I am going to get my next cup of tea and eat my roast lamb sarnie, I wanted to feel that I was putting something back in to sport and our community towards the 2012 build up.
So I am raising money for a special cause...to the future of our children.... to those that have not been as fortunate as you or I in developing skills and attitudes. The Dame Kelly Holmes Legacy trust inspires young people to find and fulfill their potential in sport or in life, giving them the belief and vision to succeed.
So please sponsor me now! The money raised is going to a fantastic cause and will help provide us our future talented sports people. You can also follow me on twitter http://twitter.com/Lou_kiwi_Curtis during the 8 day event...I promise to send lots of pics and general banter of our progress :)))Thanks for your visit and thanks in advance for generously supporting my efforts!
