120km shy of the finish line, and with great timing the rickshaw has developed a severe aversion to hills. Should make it tomorrow (if we get it fixed).

What would you say if someone said to you:
“Do you want to drive more than 3,000km through Indonesian jungle, volcanoes and bad roads in an entirely impractical and breakdown prone vehicle with no assistance and no set route in order to raise money for charity?”
I said “Yes”
This means in October Lukas and I will be driving from Bali to Sumatra in an auto-rickshaw/tuk-tuk/bajaj as part of the Rickshaw Run to raise at least GBP10,000 / US$15,000 for the Henry Surtees Foundation and Birdlife International charities.
We’re paying personally for all the associated costs and good old Google will giftmatch up to US$6000 of what I raise.
Please help support chosen charities by donating to our page for Henry Surtees Foundation (our choice) or the page for Birdlife (the official race charity).
