The Incaredibles go International

Not only have we received our first media reference, we have also begun to spread the word overseas. The Incaredibles were featured in the prestigious Clare Champion, the local newspaper of choice in Moira Incaredible's home county. You can check out the well written and thoroughly entertaining article here (ahem... was it all copied from this blog??...)

National Potato Day

We launched our sponsorship campaign this week, buoyed by the go live of our website!! Check out  the rather awesome www.theincaredibles.com. You can follow us by email, by liking our Facebok page or on Twitter. Your messages of support, humour or anything else you can think of are appreciated. Of course you can sponsor us too on our justgiving page.

Early in the week all 3 Incaredibles were very excited about the task ahead. However our mood was severely tempered by the realisation we would miss the Peruvian National Potato Day at the end of May. Fortunately there are some UK events we can attend, helpfully listed by the indispensable http://www.potatoday.org/. Don't be caught short without this link in your shortcuts - add it NOW.

Making progress... kind of

It's been a while since we last updated our blog, but fear not, preparations are in full swing. I have handed in my notice and booked a one-way ticket to Sao Paulo (the enormity of that hit home when I hit the 'buy' button on ebookers last weekend, I was laughing to myself like a demented jackal). I'll be in Peru in time to meet the other Incaredibles for our perilous journey.

Moira has set the website development in progress, we've seen the first cuts and have our fingers crossed that the final thing will hit a web browser near you this coming week. Avi and I have started our motorcycle maintenance course, intermediate level - our lovely Polish teach Lezslo is helping us 'beginners' through in his natural sardonic style.

With just 5 weeks and 4 days until I leave the country indefinitely, and 13 weeks until the Junket begins, there is still so much to do! Whilst we return to such tasks as scrabbling around for sponsors and donors, figuring out what equipment we'll need and learning how to sauté guinea pig, I'll leave you with a few shots of our motorcycle course.

Lezslo shows us how to remove the top head bearings

We start by removing the front forks... carefully... and remembering how to put everything back together of course.

Gently remove the bearings taking care not to damage any of the precision engineered mechanics

Finally got the bastard out!

Arty shot. It proves we put it back together again. Now would you drive this home?
