Moving on...

Posted on 23 Jan 2009 at 18:45

I have registered to cycle in the 2010 Cairo-CapeTown race/expedition.It will be over 11000km.,over a period of 4 months,starting January 16. My intention is to raise funds. I am paying the full cost of the trip myself and all costs relating to the trip. There is, however, a chance I could get a 25% discount  if I win a story competition run by the organisers of the cycle race, Tour d'Afrique. The winner is not neccesarily the one who has written the best story, but the one who gets the most votes!!This is where I implore you to pull out all the stops and get me votes,votes and more votes! Whether it be through email, facebook, family, friends and acquaintances.
The story has to be connected with a bike journey,so I have entered the only such one I have written, namely the one on the blog about going to Baviaanskloof Wilderness.
Voting is simple:
1Type in www.tourdafrique.com/contest 
2 Click on "View all Submissions" and choose a story to vote on.
3 Click on "Vote for this article" button on the top right hand side of the page,or scroll to the very bottom of the story.
4 Click the rating you wish to give, enter a comment if you so wish, enter your email address and click "submit".

A word of warning:every time you look at one of the other stories they get a tenth of a vote,so please just concentrate on mine until the competition finishes in March.

I do hope you can spare some time to help me with this.
Best Wishes,
Eric.
