Re: Son is on his way
Thanks Bevs, if you have read his, well their story they have had a ot of heartbreak, and I can sympathise with you as our DIL has been very unwell.
But nice for him to be cheered on, taken the time out from work at their expense.

Re: Son is on his way
It's fine , as far as I am concerned anyway.
It's for charity and it's hardly as if you are a new member seeking just to use BE to advertise this is it. BEers are wonderful at supporting and contributing to other BEers charity work.
I see the donation page is HERE - A 4000 mile charity cycle ride for Endometriosis.

You must be so proud of your son ... what a wonderful thing for him to do!

Re: My Son is on his way riding for Charity. Will soon be in Spain
Currently in Barcelona, his wife has joined him with their truck, she will be taking the panniers for him making the bike much lighter, having had some time apart think they may well have couple of days mooching around the city.
If you want to see some of his video blogs look for Chris Markun on YouTube, I like the one coming into SPAIN LOL

Re: My Son is on his way riding for Charity. Will soon be in Spain
I see that he goes to Arboleas for Number 48. Does he need somewhere to stay for a night or two? We're about half an hour away (just north of Albox) and happy to provide our spare room, and a good meal.
If so - by all means let me know and I will send my phone number.
He'd need to be ok with dogs, as we have 2 Labradors and a Boxer.
Hubby can pick him up, but we'd have to test whether we can fit his bike into the back of the car.
