Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I am lucky enough to be living in the wonderful city that is Saigon, but I havn't managed to make it to other parts of Vietnam with my working schedule, so it seemed silly to pass up the opportunity to see all parts between Ha Noi and Saigon from a bicycle (though just how much of it I'll actually take in when my thighs are screaming for me to stop, and I haven't felt bum in days, I don't know)! 

I have completed several (but not enough) training rides of about 35km and have managed to survive on the chaotic Saigon roads, which is a good start.

However I have to admit, my excitement of the past month has turned to anxiety as I realise that the ride is no longer such a future possibility, but a certain event that is really not far away now.

so please help calm my nerves by getting me to my fundraising target, and reminding me why I'm embarking on this mad venture!!!

thanks in advance.
