Buenos días Amigos y Amigas!
As some of you know already, I’ve decided to do the Macmillan Cancer Support ‘Mexico Coast to Coast’ Challenge (aka ‘El Grandisimo!’) from 26th March to 7th April 2011!
The challenge is 612km of cycling- starting on the east at the Gulf of Mexico, through dense jungle and tropical farmland, up over mountain ranges - including a 3,000m climb – and down to the ultimate goal, the beautiful beaches of Acapulco on the Pacific Coast!
Due to the colour of my hair/complexion, I think an XXXL Sombrero may need to be purchased before it! and probably a few barrels of Factor 40!!
When I hit Acapulco.. I will park the bike up and the image below is what I will be doing to celebrate/Cool-off!!
Cliff Diving in Acapulco!
There will be about 60 of us taking part in the challenge and we’ll be camping out in tents along the way. Between now and then I have to raise £3,500 in fundraising. At least 64% will be treated as a donation to Macmillan and the rest covers the cost of the flights, use of bikes, support crew etc for the challenge. 100% of anything over £3,500 will go straight to Macmillan.
To help raise these funds, I have a series of events in mind, but I would also welcome any donations http://www.justgiving.com/Chris-McNabb0 or any support that you can offer.
My first event will be a cycling lap of Lough Neagh- upto 100miles on Sat 24th July. There will be a few of us doing this and if you want to take part- please let me know.
The next event will be a Mexican Pub Quiz- upstairs in Judes Bar on the Ormeau Road on Thurs August 12th at 8pm.
If your interested in attending either of the above- please get in touch on the ‘Contact Me’ section.
More events will follow later this year and early next year!

Well, I better knuckle down to a bit of training- that’s the easy bit!!!!!!
Thanks very much for taking the time to visit the site and any donations or support will be greatly received!
Hasta la vista!
Chris
