Hi,

I did a charity cycle ride last september for Walking with Giants.

So I wrote the story up and posted it on the BBC My Story competition.

Its a bit sentimental and a bit OTT, but it was real.

But I need some votes to take it up the ranking.

If you can have a look and say you like it. The more people notice it the better for the charity.

Cheers, Ivan

Done - fair play to you! I applaud anyone who reaches out to live the dream, not the money or the riches dream but gets out of the arm-chair and stops being a spectator and lives the dream of climbing that mountain, making that speech, giving up the smokes...whatever does it for you. Make sure you bottle up that feeling and sniff it when the days are shi££y and you need a little boost [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/good.gif[/img]
Have you ever lent someone 20 quid and never seen it again? It was probably worth it.

Excellent story Ivan.

If you think about doing something like this in sefton again, then count me in. Could do with something to encourage me to get off me arse and get on the pedal bike more often and more distance!
