Caffi Iechyd Da - Charity Evening


We are having a Charity fundraiser in Caffi Iechyd Da, Jacksons Lane, Carmarthen on Friday, February 10th.  7.30p.m. till late!

We are raising money for Carmarthenshire Children’s Centre in Glangwili. www.canolfanplantsirgar . The Two Fat Cyclists are trying to raise £12,000 for the charity.

In March 2012 we are attempting to cycle 1200 miles in 6 days between Chicago and New York. The added challenge is that we are going to play gigs at various bars/pubs along the way, starting at the Candelit Bar, Chicago and culminating with a gig at the Longbow Pub and Pantry in New York.

Tickets for Caffi Iechy Da cost £10 per person. All the money will go directly to the charity.

What do you get for your £10? – A buffet supper, short quiz, free raffle, and live entertainment from a variety of musicians.

Please e mail me if you fancy a night out with a difference.

If you don't fancy coming along and would still like to support the charity ride pleas visit our Just Giving page https://www.justgiving.com/bandi

Thanks for your support.

New Year, New Bang...

Today was the first outing of the TFC of 2012 and for Man Flu Phil the first ride for 2 weeks after suffering all over the festive period with what Andy described as, "a debilitating Illness"...Figian Man Flu.

With only 9 weeks left before the off and the start of our Chicago - New York Challenge the need to train and the pressure from the big one to "man up and get on it" was no longer bearable. So with still mucus engulfed sinus and wheezy chest we ventured out onto the highways on Pendine. In 4•C temps and 20mph winds we headed off to the Ginst and then returned via the "Hill of doom" where the old ticker according to my polar monitor was doing 164 bpm and causing a bit of heavy breathing. I struggled so hard the Fat Controller nearly beat me up to the summit.

More training planned for tomorrow and the rest of the week before a longer ride on the weekend and a planning meeting with our technical support consultants (Big Fat Gay Uncle Lyndon - BFGUL and Gethin "the very furtile man mountain" Jones.

Phil "Ill" Jenkins.
