Some of the old crew might remember Russ Pinder and the Russ Appeal

I can’t believe it was 15 years ago that I was putting a stamp on a card and posting it to Russ!

I’m confident he’ll finish it.

Cheers.

15 years, eh Dave! Still got my Air Ambulance T shirt, you and Russ's friends put a lot of time and effort to supporting him back then. Great to see he's still active and enthusiastic (and hopefully doing well?)

+ 1 cheers

15 years. Where has the time gone. Fantastic to see he's doing well.

Likewise - Russ was a friend of a friend through MTBing and I think I rode with him a couple of times back in the day.  Will find a few quid for the bucket....

One concern is with the trouser legs on the photo....... won't small road creatures be swept into them - are we sponsoring Russ to Paris, or Russ, a fieldmouse, two voles, perhaps a hedgehog*, innumerable gel wrappers discarded by the other people on the ride.......

* might sound uncomfortable to have a hedgehog run up your trouser leg but of course not an issue for Russ. Every cloud, eh 😉

15 years? Blimey.   Seen Russ posting this on FB.

Top bloke. Good cause. I'll chuck some cash in.

Too new to have been aware of the original story. But huge respect for what he's doing, that's no cakewalk on a normal bike, let alone a handcycle. More than happy to contribute.

blimey. still wearing my Russ t shirt, now a bit thin.

I didn't actually meet Russ in person, it was all through GoFar and the crew at the time (you, Dave, and Myra et al).
