Right, going to try and do my "success story" video tonight.
Thought about doing a short Q&A for here aswell. Do you have anything you want to ask me? You have about two hours to post, else I'll do it another night.....
Christ, that's a biggie. No idea.
This sounds really trivial, but do you think that going recumbent might cause you to lose interest in two-wheeled cycling and, by extension, pro cycling?
I will keep that noted and keep it for a Q&A, I want to speak to some of you via a video, just because I'm trying to build up some confidence.....
Wow, I think I just about did my video alright, so nervous just speaking to my own camera with no-one around and talking about myself.
Hi its me.......I will be shaving soon, I was using Movember as a nice excuse to grow the beard in again
http://youtu.be/dCYlT-bpJtU
Anyone watched my awkward video??
Footfall through the page is slowly going down, any ideas to get it up again?
I'm still bashing out the link on twitter all the time....
Trying to, although the rubbish internet link at work is making it stutter. First impressions are very good, although behind the hoody, beard, specs and beanie, you seem as if you're hiding a little. I appreciate that may actually be the case (recording yourself is nerve-racking), and I hope you don't mind me being honest. That said, all four of those things often describe my appearance as well and I'm fairly confident, so I may be talking utter nonsense - actually, maybe it's because you're sat back, almost 'inside' the hoody. But anyway, I'm nitpicking, it looks good for the bits I've seen.
On the wider issue, I'm thinking you probably just need to ebay the majority of the items you have. Maybe have a couple just for road.cc or whatever, but this place probably doesn't have the traffic to, for example, drive up the price of the Dani King first day cover. You're at £1100 now, it wouldn't surprise me if you were able to generate the same again from the auction items. If that 2nd hand trike turns out to be right for you, all the better.
Ah, got my beanie on and was sitting in my sleeping bag at the time, trying to save as much cash on heating because I'm home all day. But I get your point about hiding. I hide most of my life at the moment.
The video wasn't really for the public, just for GoFundMe to take snips from and use in one of their videos.
I'm thinking some of the items are going to have to go to ebay. Just because of the volume that goes through there. Then some on my site and some as raffles for donation's.
I've made contact at the second hand one, but haven't heard back. Seems expensive for what it is, so waiting on specs. The only thing being that it might not be folding.
Hadn't thought of that - does it need to be folding?
It doesn't have to be folding, but it would be a million times easier if it was, just for putting it in the shed, house or wherever on my own, Otherwise I'd need a hand to take it out and put it away everytime
My first item arrived this morning in the post, thanks to Richard Mitchelson www.richmitch.co.uk (richmitch) Its a Greg print

Hmm, suddenly that's back in fashion as well! Looks good.
Just received a HAND SIGNED, Philippe Gilbert world champion picture from BMC. Very nice it is aswell
Hoping all well with you in the snowy north. Just thinking. Do you have a #tag that could go with the tweet?
I don't but if you think of one there are still 14 characters to be used, I could always pull the spare a tweet part aswell??
All is as well as it can be, inches of snow, roads closed, accidents everywhere, -7 over night, but I don't go out, so it doesn't affect me really
Something simple #backcycling or #ootnaboot ? Will have a ponder. Be glad you're indoors. Too many clueless winter drivers around. Look after your self.
So you lovely bunch, If you have twitter, I'd love it if you could post this daily??
#ootnaboot it is, as I just searched it in twitter, only 1 tweet that had it.....perfect I've updated the quote
Right, Dani King signed limited edition first day cover came today. I have pretty much made up my mind to run it as a raffle.
So for every £5 donated = 1 ticket into the raffle.
Does that sound fair? Rather than things going for stupid prices on ebay or auction?
I may still auction on or two items, but the majority will be raffle prizes, drawn by someone independent from my appeal.
SO everyone that has already donated is in the hat
Er, but that doesn't raise extra?
Don't get me wrong, I've donated so it works for me, but it only generates more if you manage to keep the momentum going via other channels (outside road.cc).
EDIT: HOLY SH*T, I've been away for a few days and you're at 83%! Forget the above, looks like you'll be ordering before xmas at this rate.
Yeah just under 83% but it rounds things up
So that's why I'm not going to try getting stupid money for any items that are donated and I also think its a fair way to give something back to people who have kindly donated (without the thought of getting anything in return)
Here are a couple of pictures, the Dani King and Gilbert items

OH MY FLAMING GOD.
I'm not going to put anyone down. All donations are equally as important, but I just got this one
Davis Phinney donated £100.00
You are a great example to all - most especially those of us in the Parkinson's community. Go Keith!
STOP PRESS.......HAMMER TIME
Announcement coming soon.....NO I'm not pregnant
Hmm Intriguing, you made that comment at 17.09, and this one is at 16.48
The clock on Road.cc seems to be a bit wrong.
Any joy with those prints young sir?
They'll unfortunately be finished after your auction, late January, but I can still send them up. On Christmas Holidays as of Tomorrow Morning, so no access to the Print Studios, but I've done all the groundwork, just need to crank them out, number them and package.
Sooooooooo, I said stop press earlier, GO GO GO

I now need to work out about this raffle, items are still on their way to me at the moment. So some will be raffle, some auction and any money left over will be going to charity. That will be decided by all those who have donated, I'll put out a poll in due course.
Not to worry dude, whenever they are ready, I can still say to people they are on their way
Was just looking for confirmation that we were still on for them. Thanks for your help with it.
