Biking Bridges for girls' education in Malawi

I pledged to cycle across 20 bridges before November 2013 to raise £2000.00 to support girls in secondary schools in North Malawi via the Mamie Martin Fund. My total is £1200.00 pounds as at end November so thanks for helping me to do that! A 1% rise in women’s literacy is 3 times more likely to reduce deaths in children than a 1% rise in the number of doctors.

The final push


This bike has done 16 of the 17 so far and is being rested now.
I am nearly finished now, though suspect that I have become addicted.  This is what is happening over the next two weeks:

The Newcastle Bridges - July 20th with Alan Brice from Freedom from Torture. 

The Humber Bridge, the longest single span bridge (1.4 miles) in the UK - to be biked 21st July with Richard Bearman, Jon Bolton and friends.

The Sound Bridge in Kenmare, Co Kerry.  Well, the locals call it that. You might think it's something to do with a whistle or some such sound that the bridge will make when the wind blows.  Wrong!  It's the sound bridge, as opposed to the unsound bridge that was swept away in bad weather.   26th July with Eilish Roche to whom I am indebted for that description!
