In the beginning......
I am near the big FiveO, worked hard for 30 years in "service" and always looking for new challenges to fill my waking hours. I love classic cars and bikes and seeing the ad in the Sunday Times with the Royal Enfield really struck a chord. "I'm doing that" I immediately said to my long suffering wife Carole. Well used to my crazy schemes by now over the years she knew I meant it. We had loved our trip to Cambodia to see our volunteering daughter Gemma - the people, the scenery, the experience. I saw Enduro India as a chance to combine raising money for good causes, seeing India and riding a classic bike for two whole weeks!
The challenge - Enduro India 2010 - is to ride “Dusk-to-Dawn” on 1950's style Royal Enfield Bullet motorcycles across some of the most demanding terrain in Southern India - finishing in Cochin two weeks and 2,000 miles later.
Charity fundraising is the fundemental part of Enduro India 2010 and I have only six months to raise a minimum of £4750! That is why I need your help!
Please support me now - email me at johnsinnerton@btinternet.com and I will tell you how to do it! Many thanks in advance for your contribution!
So far Enduro India have helped raise £½m for UNICEF, Rainbow Tust Childrens Charity and The Wildlife Conservation Society and in total have raised more than £2m for various causes.

Hi John,
ReplyDeleteLike the blog, I've just set up mine but haven't yet figured out some of the quirks. I'm trying to organise a biker event in my area to help raise cash. It's early days yet so I won't say too much til I see how it pans out! Anyway, I'm coming with you on the trip and can't wait. I have been reading some blogs and noticed that not many people post comments, which is a shame coz it's nice to get feed back.Good luck with your efforts and keep it up. If you don't find me before Jan 24th I'll see you there! Regards, Coops.
