    I always like to take on a bit of a challenge in aid of charity. This year I'm riding the MancRiders Speedway Challenge 2014 raising awareness of the Haemophilia Society. Heres their Just Giving page if you fancy popping a couple of coins in the pot.

    Heres my latest Blog with the MancRiders Speedway Challenge -Part 1 - The Norther Loop, Done! 3 Days, 19 Speedway Tracks visited and photographed, 1167 miles traveled & I loved every single mile. Well except riding back from Glasgow in the dark with a tinted visor on Doooooo!

    As some of you will know I'm a Twitter Nutter! Yesterday I had the Honda #MyJourney team follow me and ask if they can feature the trip on their site. I've sent all the info over and just waiting for Simon to upload the trip so far. I'll keep you posted if & when it appears.

    For now heres a couple of shots taken on the first three day leg.

    So Guy's this is my amended route
