Alex arrived at 1300 hrs on the 13th July 09
Today goes down in the history of this ‘World Record Attempt’ in so much as ‘Alex’ arrived today with lots of spars and guy to instructions us on how to change batteries, re-charging batteries, changing wheels. We hope that we do not have to change the motors. If we do, then Handicare will have to be called to the rescue.
Getting into the ‘Alex’ I am using for this challenge was for me, a quite an emotional time. All the planning, fundraising, praying and been told by people who should be supporting me, they would not be supporting me. Been told from all the people who are supporting me to go for it and be come a World Champion, take no notice of the others. There is so much I could put here, including trying out different modes of beds, I am still not 100% set on what I shall sleep on. If I had my way, I would take my bed I sleep on at home. Making sure that we had all have all the equipment, we need and all the equipment we do not need. Some will slip through the net!
I still have to see my Doctor for a final check up. This I am doing tomorrow. Take ‘Alex’ for his registration and number plate, if we have time. Go and burn some rubber in Alex. I think you get the picture.
Today I also received the tee shirts from Petal Back Clothing, see link on left. The ones I am to wear are easy to put on; they have my E2E logo on. Petal Black also had made especially for the team, tee shirts with a large mouse on wearing clogs. The wording escapes me at the moment. Thank you Petal Back Clothing.
So there you have it. Final count down to Saturday 18th July 2009 at 1400 hrs has now begun…
Speak again soon…
