When I changed bike with less than 4 weeks until we left I was stuck with a 15 year
old bike that needed to be ressurected. Paul & John and Portslade panelworks offered
to respray the bike for free and without this generosity I'd have been totally stuck.
Thanks chaps. click here
As you can see the logo is a big part of the ride and I needed some clothing branded
but had limited budgets. Pete at Logo Sports in Hove did it for nothing and we now have
perfectly printed shirts. They can brand a wide variety of items so send them your business!

Thanks to Mark Spivey and Hertha Findklee at The Maritim Hotel Group who sponsored
accommodation for Marco & I in Germany. Their breakfasts were second to none! I'm
sorry I washed my cycling shorts in the bathroom Mark I hope you'll forgive me!

Planning & Design
Richard is personally responsible for the branding logos of Cycle Europe 2008.
With the generous donation of his time and effort the Cycle Europe logo has become
an integral part of the event as well as instantly recognisable and extremely popular.
Richard is an unbelievable designer and is highly recommended.

When you need a website and you want to spend as little of the sponsor’s money
as possible you need to meet someone very special. In February 2008 I met Jamie
and he generously agreed that The Tin would sponsor the site. As I hope you agree
it is amazing and a key component of the project.

Bumping into Adrian at an event in February was another stoke of luck. Adrian,
a director of IF Solutions, immediately offered to sponsor some wrist bands and
key rings. These have been fantastic promotional items so many thanks Adrian.

A huge thank you to Silversea Cruises. For those of you lucky enough to have
cruised with them you know that their ships are the height of luxury. This luxury
is matched also by their generosity. Personal thanks to Sean Mahoney for believing
in the project so wholeheartedly. click here
Ken & Simon Clayton kindly sponsored a sizeable amount for the ride 100% of which
will go directly to charity. If you need a badging company these are your people!

Base camp. Their range of nutritional supplements are second to none. Thanks to
James, Julian and the whole team.

Messe Frankfurt Services Cycle Europe's stand at IMEX was sponsored by Messe Frankfurt
Services. Mr Carsten Steffen has worked on IMEX for many years and he came up with
a great design. It looked fantastic and helped us raise the profile of the ride
throughout the show. Carsten also joined us for part of the ride in Germany and
it was a pleasure to have his company and that of his friend Mark.

Liz Stanhope from Maui Jim kindly donated glasses for Marco and I to wear but also
to use as prizes at the fundraising events we have organised. Maui Jim's polarized
glasses have been really useful on the ride so thanks Liz, it is greatly appreciated.
