Now that was a great day!

Those days when everything is going well, I guess we must enjoy them and remember them when things are falling apart. Part of the balancing act I suppose. Anyway - Today - how cool was it? Firstly, back on the bike - it had been a while and I was really up for it, so a quick burn up some hills then, a ride into town to do some business.
First, Acorn Finance, for a chat. An they are pledging money to the Challenge - Thanks David. Depending on the sum, we might get a logo on the shirt or shorts or helmet

Second, A sponsorship for to do the rounds at LloydsTSB Broad Street. The bad news is there are lots of forms in the offices right now as the Jersey Marathon is on the week before my challenge! But we live in hope.

Thirdly, those lovely people at Letto's the Jewellers. A stonking £500 from Colin Letto - cool! His company gets a logo on the shirt.

JerseyGas - popped in as they were sponsors of a previous challenge I did - I wait to hear more next week - damn those pesky weekends for getting in the way of business.

Channel 103fm - Chris Halford suggests i do some updates during the ride and we could do some links for the websites - their's to ours! Hurrah! Fiona & Kirsty will sponsor and check a few people they know to fill the forms I left - Hurrah hurrah!

Jim Plumley at the Coop, gets a mention, as he has arranged for me to be outside Grande Marche Supermarket in St Peters on Saturday 18th Sept on a static bike, then outside the St Helier Grand Marche on Tuesday 21st Sept and again on the Tuesday 28th Sept  back at St Peters. Hopefully the shoppers will be generous.

Topping it all, one of my best mates gets in touch. Rob, mate you are an inspiration and a friend, thanks for the donation.

On to the weekend, riding and fund raising all the way.

Thanks for reading - do leave your comments, Murray
