The last few weeks have been rather slow due to the festive period and also hurting my knee, so not much really happened with the promoting of QuadEPIC. Now with all the festive shenanigans out the way, Dan, Neil and myself have regrouped for the start of 2010. Neil is now over here somewhere in Europe travelling after leaving Canada at Christmas. He's been hopping all over the place from Iceland to France, and I'm sure he's in Spain now.... Dan has been busy with legal side of things and updating the web page..
As for my health, my knee has got much better (the crazy old lady is still calling though).... but i have a new problem. I managed to put my lower back out the day before New Years. I was up in Edinburgh drinking with Doug, a friend from my travelling days in Australia. Doug cracked some kind of joke that made me giggle, that giggle turned into louder laughing, which then turned into a frown and a stabbing pain in my lower back. I cant even remember what Doug said so sadly I cant share it with you. I've spent the last few days in bed resting my back. This time in bed has allowed me the opportunity to do some more research for our trip on a number of the cities we will be visiting. Also, I've started arranging a tour in February around England's universities on the bike.
Today I've been sat up in the living room with my mums sewing machine out. I've been busy making straps for the pedals to hold our feet in place. I have to admit I'm rather impressed with my creations, which has got me thinking..... what else could I be making for the trip on my mums sewing machine? Maybe a tent or some pants for the boys? I also had a nice gift box to come home to from Scotland, The Source Hydration packs were delivered on behalf of QuadEPIC. The start of 2010 also brings us a new 4th Rider, Becca from England. You can read more about Becca on our web page.

The Epic
A multi-continental challenge, crossing the largest landmass on Earth using a pedal powered quad bike.
The primary objective of QuadEPIC is to raise £10,000 for the WWF. This will be used for the support, development and ongoing conservation of our natural assets, wildlife and resources. We wish to attract attention and awareness as to the importance of protecting our incredibly varied and beautiful surroundings, both in nature and humanity.
The entire journey is estimated to take 353 days in total, over a period of 2 years, however unforeseen circumstances, such as poor weather, bike repair and similar may slightly alter the overall duration. The final destination will be the world renowned Singapore Zoo, with its 28 hectare, ‘open concept’ rainforest habitat.
