This is now the time to support an old faithful. @Jewbaccais a long time member, contributor and have done his part for various causes and gave us all a laugh along the rode and many to come on his way to Munga 2024. Our current effort...we are not even at WP1. @Jewbaccacan in all probability wheelie all the way to WP1. Thank you @DJuice! I will try to register with SPCA this week and take up the mantle from Gemmer. Hoping we can get there and get pedalling for pooches again! peetwindhoek, The Ouzo and tinmug 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to figure out the seatpost/saddle height. Being able to sit and pedal will be important and my bodged effort broke the other day. I have an idea to slot a 30.9 seatpost OVER a 27.2 one with the top cut off. I'll figure that out the next couple of weeks too. I'm still a few weeks away from riding outdoors due to my broken elbow, hitting the trainer most days with one hand on the bars DJuice, tinmug, peetwindhoek and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am pretty sure I can make the BMX 'Munga capable' I already have adapted tubeless 20x2.25 tires and disc brakes. If I can sort out the seated position and get the frame bags sewn up I reckon it won't be too bad gemmerbal 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Need to save some of it for March. B.T.W. was thinking about perhaps trying to raise funds for a needy cause with one a two of my races, but have no idea where to start. What are the ins and outs of doing this ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To register to become a donor/fund raiser, one generally approaches the charity and they set everything up, give you a link to spread around and people can donate via the charity portal assigned to your profile. It's not a complicated process in most cases as it is something most of the bigger charities rely on. I still have my SPCA trail shirt, so I think I'm sorted re apparel and support. Just need to re-set my profile for 2024. I could do a series of idiot things on a 20" bike to make it fun. But money's too tight to mention at the moment, so in order for this to get off the ground O do need this to get off the ground.... if that makes sense!
