360 blood bike challenge with pillion

Steven Smythe is raising money for Northumbria Blood Bikes

My story

I am doing this challenge next month on behalf of Northumbria Bloodbikes. It will be approximately 250 miles with Pillion. I'm doing it for fun but anyone who would like to sponsor me would be greatly appreciated.

This event is being organised for those of you who wish to help keep this volunteer service on the road, our running costs alone are around £5,500 per month. Your donation will help to fuel our vehicles which carry vital supplies to the local hospitals in the North of England and replenish blood supplies, 365 days a year, to the fleet of Air ambulances serving the North East and Cumbria. (this is known as the B.O.B run (Blood On Board) and was the brain child of Dr Rachel Hawes to help save lives when time is a matter of life and death. The route takes you to the furthest points of the Northumbria Blood Bikes operational area that riders will cover many times during the year (the total area covered by our team is (approximately 3,317 Sq miles).

The route will showcase some of the best areas Northumberland, Durham, and Upper Teesdale have to offer - wild spectacular Landscapes, Moor and Coast, something for everyone!

The event starts and finishes either at Black Bull Pub, Benton, Newcastle Upon Tyne, (NE7 7XE) or from Great North Air Ambulance Service, Progress House, Urlay Nook Road, Eaglescliffe, (TS16 0QB), or from The Garage Bar & Grille, 30 Pavilion Terrace, Burnhope, Co Durham (DH7 0BN) from 8.00am onwards. New to this year you can select a different finish point to the one you start at.
