McFly tickets being auctioned for Cerebra

Hi all

I know that its not sunday (my normal blogging day) but I have an exciting announcement..

I signed up to a new gym and when I went on day one, they held a mini music quiz and the long and short of it is that I won TWO TICKETS to see MCFLY at the O2 academy in NEWCASTLE UPON TYNE on THURSDAY 25TH APRIL 2013. These tickets are SOLD OUT on the website  and currently being sold on sites for over £100. The face value of the tickets is £27.50 each :)

Now, I do actually like Mcfly but I figured that this would be a great way to open my fundraising page. If you are a fan or know someone that is, then please read on...

The plan is that I will hold a silent auction. This means that people can either DM me on twitter @arcticride2014 or email me gordon_stuart1@hotmail.com or fill out the form below with their bid between the dates of Thursday 11th April and midnight on Friday 19th April 2013. The highest bid will be announced on Saturday 13th April and the winner will be contacted. The tickets will either be sent out to them first class or I can arrange to meet you in Newcastle or other convenient location.

The money will need to be paid to my fundraising page (www.virginmoneygiving.com/arcticride2014) before the tickets are released. And that's it, highest bid wins.

If you have any questions, then please get in touch.

If you are new to my blog, then I am raising money for Cerebra, a charity which helps brain injured children and their families. If you want to know more, please read my other blog posts or visit: www.cerebra.org.uk for more details.

Ride Safe,

Gordon

Suzuki GSX650F review

Hello there, And welcome to another edition of the Arctic Ride blog! My trip might be a distant memory (last year in fact) but there is still plenty to come from me both for Arctic Ride 2014 post trip (like this blog) and future adventures. I'm pleased to announce that earlier this week my blog reached 45,000 views which I am both pleased and humbled about. So with this blog I wanted to share my thoughts on the bike I rode on my ride to the Arctic this year, the Suzuki GSX650F. I've had many people ask me to review the bike and, well, here it is. My GSX 650F and I at the Arctic Circle in Norway As a background in my 9 years of riding I've ridden a smallish cross section of bikes, but I feel it has been enough for me to put some context behind my views on the GSX650F. An example of some of the bikes I have ridden include my first bike, Suzuki Marauder 125, a Yamaha Virago 535, Kawasaki ER5, SV650S, BMW LT 1200, Harley Davidson Street Glide 1800, and a Kawasaki ...

Why is the Dalton so dangerous?

Welcome to The Arctic Rider blog, Its now less than a year until I start my quest to conquer The Dalton Highway in Alaska, one of the worlds' most dangerous roads. The new 'Arctic Ride Alaska' poster I've still got a lot of planing to do and I've been working away in the background to get a lot of things firmed up, but I probably won't know the key parts of the trip, such as the exact dates I'll be going and the bike I'll be riding, until the Autumn. Anything I know before then I'll be staring with all you loyal readers of my blog. In this blog, I'll be covering why The Dalton Highway is so dangerous , and why I'm hoping you will share some of your very hard earned Pounds (and other currencies for non-UK readers) in exchange for the danger and suffering I'll be putting myself in next year. Firstly though, I must say a huge thanks to an unnamed Devitt Insurance employee who very kindly donated their employee-of-the month priz...

Looking back: Arctic Ride Iceland

Hello, Thanks for tuning into another edition of the Arctic Rider blog. Wow, so its been a week and a half since I returned from my epic trip to Arctic Iceland. The dust has settled and I'm back at work.. it almost feels as thought it never happened, a long and distant memory but luckily I have lots of photos to remind me it was real :) Day 12 - Southern Iceland The weather in Iceland completely battered me and I feel lucky to have got through this ride in one piece, having met other bikers who been blown off their bikes in the wind, dropped them on gravel roads, and been soaked to the skin by the rain. The battle against the elements was 100% worth it though to raise so much money for two amazing charities in Tiny Lives Trust and Cerebra. At the time of writing, Team Arctic Ride has raised OVER £5,000 for this ride. I'm honoured and humbled to have had such amazing support from so many dedicated supporters! I will be closing my donation page at midnight 31st July...
