Burge5k: Dunwich Dynamo

from 30 Jun 2012 - 01 Jul 2012 in London - Dunwich

I'm going on a very silly bike ride at the end of the month, some of may already know about it but for those that don't the Dunwich Dynamo is a 200km ride from London to the Suffolk Coast at Dunwich.

If that's not silly enough, it leaves london at about 9 o'clock on a Saturday night, getting into Dunwich at about 8-9am the next morning.

It's not strictly a charity event so I don't want to ask for money. Instead, I'd like you to sponsor me with action! Even the most hardcore eco-warriors among us have something they've been meaning to get round to and hopefully this will motivate you to finally go for it, thinking of me with eighty miles under my wheels at four o'clock in the morning in the pouring rain and another forty to go.
If you don't know where to start, don't worry, the guys at the DoNation have put together an easy list to pick from ranging from little things like turning the heat down on your washing machine to really big things like skipping a flight or two or downsizing your car.
I sponsored my friends last year with Veg Out and the (occasional) emails are well timed reminders and really helped me keep u with my pledge.

The environment needs our action more than it needs our cash.

You'll get me to do this for a month and a half, perhaps 2. Let's see if I keep going through the school year!

Vegan (just), can't drive, and only buy clothes from charity shops. I'm pretty much a fucking saint! But I never turn my computer off ever. So now I will!
