This just in from Don’s daughter Alex in the UK:

I have been watching British Eurosport channel on TV tonight, it broadcasts the Dakar for half an hour every night and I just saw Don on his bike in the background of the an interview!! It looked as though the riders were coming in for […]

In the meantime, Don will […]

Both Simon and Don agree – its even softer than Dubai! He purposely tried to ride the worst of it …..subsequently ate a […]

We Have the Bike We Have a Very Cool Helmet

The bikes arrived safely and Don is thrilled with his (No. 110). If you were at all into numerology you be thrilled, as the Number 2 means balance; union; receptiveness; partnership and a strong and worthy intuition. Just what Don needs!

Right now, he is having lunch with his team in a little restaurant in […]
