The Sun Shines on Shipley!
Tuesday 21st May 2024A fantastic day and a great ride for a important cause. Lovely to chat to a very distinguished group of ladies and gentlemen and admire a wonderful selection of motorcycles (and scooters).
A huge thanks to everyone who supported me in this great advent and not forgetting the hospitality of Cobb and Jagger!
Now all that remains is to remove this fluff from my top lip before Mrs. Eccles gets back!
Facially Follicly Challenged
Sunday 12th May 2024With only a week left to go, I am concerned my magnificent moustache may not be up to standard - I knew I should have started sooner!
Also strict instructions it must go before Mrs. Eccles returns from her holiday.
Now a big thank you to all the great people who have supported me in this vitally important charity. Come, rain, sleat, snow or shine I will complete this rather enjoyable challenge.
Thanks again!
Buff my rims
Friday 3rd May 2024A bit of a panic over the state of my rims for such prestigious event, they're not very distinguished!
Solvo at the ready, elbow grease at hand - buff those rims boy!
I'm Riding for Men's Health in The Distinguished Gentleman's Ride
Friday 12th Apr 2024 On Sunday the 19th of May 2024, I'm riding in The Distinguished Gentleman's Ride with fellow men and women across the globe to raise funds and awareness for prostate cancer and men's mental health on behalf of Movember. Men die on average 6 years earlier than women and for largely preventable reasons. The number of men that are suffering is growing, and we need to do something about that. So, before I press my tweed and polish my boots, I'm asking you to join me in raising funds and awareness for these causes by donating what you can for this meaningful cause and to help the men we love, live happier and healthier lives.My Sponsors
