Story

I aim to cycle 500 + miles in the month of October to raise as much as I can for Wilfs chosen charity. This will be personal for me, due to suffering from depression myself in the past. I will cycle outdoors, off road, on road, or on an indoor trainer if weather conditions are poor. Due to knee injuries, I have opted to spread the mileage out so it can be done in stages.

please support if you are willing and able!

I had known Wilf the better part of 20 years, meeting at a motorcycle clubhouse party. Treating him like a mate straight away, buying him a beer and having a chat, before knowing who he was. I earned a place in his friendship circle that remained until this day. Frequently chatting about cars, bikes, music, fishing and boxing or just sending each other stupid jokes, which often earned me one of his trademark catchphrases. The last time I was with Wilf was at the tattoo studio he co-owned, Mindseye. We had a good catch up and a great laugh with all the team. I could see he was enjoying his retirement and making the best of life. He was a good husband, father, co-worker, and friend. I hope he has found peace, wherever he is now. Wilf will be missed by all who knew him and had the privilege to call him a friend and brother. I do miss our conversations and jokes.
