After a long and difficult think and mulling over the chiefs email , I don't think me doing this years event is a sensible possibility. 

Few different reasons , but mostly time and circumstances won't allow me to give it the attention I would need to .

Will carry on prepping the bike and if the stars align get it and me to the line in 2025.

Actually gutted 😢 

 

Wishing everyone who does make it the very best and ride safe you big damn heroes 💙

I messaged JM the other day.

Unfortunately, for reasons, I have had to give up my slot this year.

I will still make every effort to help at P4 as a pennance though.

I haven't given up on the Katana though, don't worry.

Current plans* are to persevere with the Katana as much as time, funds, time and motivation permit. Try and get it ready for June 21st anyway and ride it to P4.

 

*Subject to change due to weather, wind, phase of the moon, etc.

I'm just going to sidle in with a quick FUCK YEAH! to everyone doing the challenge this year.

I'll add a Next Time Dude to anyone who has had to (snigger) pull out. Hugs to Jaycee, one of the survivors of the early years, dude would be there if he could.

James, you always get Big Mitch Hugs regardless my man, but I'm so sorry to hear about Sarah so I'm sending an extra squeeze dude. Anyone involved in LDC knows you're the man and we all appreciate the big shit you do to help the event.

Everyone involved in any way is a fucking hero and I won't hear otherwise.

LDC has grown year on year, and is now a serious fundraiser. Kick ass this year guys :pb2::icon_salut:
