Sponsored Bike Ride

AAHHHHH!!!! Bad news. I have had to postpone my sponsored bike ride. Due to my photography business being really busy I am unable to afford the time out. So I have postponed the ride until next month when things have calmed down a bit. I am really disappointed but at least it will give me a little more time to get more sponsors. Ha Ha!
I'll keep you posted with the dates.
Speak soon.
Pete.

Hi Every one.
Great news! I now have a fixed date for the sponsored bike ride.
I will be setting off from the Hull side of the Humber Bridge at around 10am on Monday May 19th.
I hope to reach the Severn Bridge sometime mid afternoon on Thursday 22nd. I am training as hard as I can now as it is not that far away and I am not as young as I used to be. My fitness is not that bad but could do with being a little better.
I am also hoping to have my good friend Sean join me at various points along the way. He will be on four wheels in his car though with all the support stuff. He tells me he doesn't do all that exercise bit. We're still trying to find overnight accommodation at the moment but so far those I have approached have not been willing to help out. I will keep trying though.
I will be taking a few pictures along the way and hope to have some on the website and blog for you all to see so keep an eye out. Oh yes and sorry for the Spandex shorts when you see me.
Speak to you all soon.
Peter.

Hi everyone.
Sorry it has been a while since I last posted on my blog.
So much has been going on I've barely had time to sleep which is why I am writing this now.
I am over in Las Vegas at the WPPI (Wedding and Portrait Photographers International)photography convention learning more stuff so that we have even more to offer our clients.
It's now ten minutes to two in the morning but I'm not used to the time difference yet so sleep is not an option at the moment.
I know when I do get to sleep I will not be able to wake up even though I have to be up early as the seminars start again at around 8am each day.
Today has been quite busy running from one seminar to the next.
There are some really good speakers here this year all willing to share their wisdom and experience with us.
The weather out here is is getting warmer each day.
Not that it's cold in any way as it's too warm for coats and most people are only in shirt sleeves.
Anyway.
More soon as I am now going to settle down to an episode of CSI.

Pete.

Well, we finally got the link sorted out so hopefully we can now keep you all updated with all that is going on at Little Devils Portraits.
If you have been looking at our website you will see we now have a Competition page.
We are offering anyone who books one of our On Location LifeStyle sessions, automatic entry into our prize draw for a Nintendo DS or a Complete On Location LifeStyle shoot with a free 20x16 framed print worth £350.
We're also breaking the rules a little and alowing the shoot to include the whole family rather than just the kids.
Pete is well under way now training for his sponsored bike ride.
For those of you who have not read or heard about this Pete Norton CEO of Little Devils Portraits and parent company Norton Photography is trying to raise money for When You Wish Upon A Star, a charity foundation that grants wishes for sick and terminally ill children. Each year Pete has tried to help out in some way or other and this year he has decided that he would ride his mountain bike from the Hull side of the Humber Bridge all the way down to the Severn Bridge near Bristol, a distance of over 200 miles.
Although at this point Pete hasn't been able to fix a firm date due to other engagements he is hoping to start pedling during the last week of May.
If you know anyone who would like to help Pete out he is looking more sponsors.
Cheques can be made out to: When you wish upon a star, and sent to.
