We are doing a 24 hour tommorrow night start around 8 p.m. again from Limerick.I have 3 crew members which is brill so will be able to cycle non stop for the 24 hours without having to worry about the crew been tired etc. Its approx 360 miles from Limerick to Tralee, Sneem, Mizen Head,Kinsale and Youghal. Hopefully I will make it most of the way in 24 hours but we will see.Im unsure of where I am at the moment and so this will be a good test and tell us a lot.I havent done anything over a 100 miles since the 230 miles I did on May 14th but have been doing some hard hill workouts and some running.Im a little leaner at 82kg but hope to lose another few kilos in the next 2 months which will make a nice difference in power output.
We have raised 600 euro so far which is great.The crew has come up with some good incentives for raising more money including a bike spin around Cork City and I hope to do a tea/coffee morning in conjunction with the Jack and Jill in Kildare. We also hope to approach clubs and companies etc.Hopefully as the race approaches people will become more aware of the race and this will increase chances of raising money.I have sponsorship cards been sent also from the Jack and Jill Foundation which I can give out to the crew and family and friends etc. So we will just keep at it,will hold another quiz in August again and promote it a bit more this time. If you are reading this please make a small donation to the Jack and Jill for our efforts in cycling and driving 1350 miles around Ireland on Sept 12th. When the going gets really tough during the race,and it will,raising awareness and money for the Jack and Jill Foundation is what will motivate and inspire us to keep going.Any donation you make makes a difference in helping us to make a difference. You can make a donation quite easily at mycharity.ie/events/capperman However it will require you to take about 5-10 mins of your time in making the effort to go through the process.
Thank you for any support in advance and I hope I can support you if you plan to raise money for any charity.
