We've made it! We cycled from London, UK to Sydney, Australia!

355 days and just over 25,000kms on recumbents to raise money for
Cancer Research and BBC Children in Need!

We've experienced so much, learnt so much, and cycled so far!

So now it's your turn to do something, donate some money to charity via
our website.

We've an online diary detailing our trip and details on how to donate!

So visit www.nutsonbents.com

It is what Mike Vandeman says all the time to the many mountain bikers who
get sassy with him on the groups that he posts to. Mr. Vandeman is a great
scholar and a gentleman to boot and the mountain bikers are, well ... we all
know what mountain bikers are without me having to spell it out.

NEVER ignore the Great Ed Dolan aka Saint Edward the Great. You do so at the
peril of your eternal soul.

By the way PhilO, what do you think of attempts to raise money on Usenet?
Maybe I should try this myself as I am always in need of a bit more money. I
could say it is for a good cause - namely MY cause.

You wasted a year out of your lives doing a stupid and foolish thing. As to
your raising any money, does not the UK government raise taxes to pay for
social welfare programs for the poor and the sick?

> We've experienced so much, learnt so much, and cycled so far!

I doubt it! You could have learned just as much by staying home and doing a
bit of reading. The days when we need to travel the world like co Polo
are long gone.

Perish the thought! I pay my taxes and that is all I am ever going to do. I
think you may actually be crooks to be soliciting money on this newsgroup.

> We've an online diary detailing our trip and details on how to donate!

I am going to report you to the Better Business Bureau! How dare you try to
raise money for your so-called charity here in the U.S. I think it is more
likely you are trying to raise some money to pay for your extravagant and
wasteful trip.
