especially where last year's funds went after your aborted attempt finished

I presumed he's been using them to live on, and pay for the advice he's been getting towards the next attempt.

As backers last time none of us were given a summary of income/expenditure despite numerous requests/promises.


==================================================================================

I don't recall numorous requests/promises !  I think Steve's ability not to waste money was much in evidence on his two previous attempts.  Let us hope that he does have the van backup he was agreeable to when interviewed by D Peacock on PBP.  The faster he rides and the less clutter he carries the better.  Steve just shout when more  £££££ is needed.

Detailing what the money was spent on is just another time consuming hassle. You either want to send some money to help him out whilst he's not working, or you don't.

I sent some money Steve's way and he could have spent it all on cocaine and hookers for all I care....
Those wonderful norks are never far from my thoughts, oh yeah!

Ditto, and you will recall Steve asked everyone to stop contribs as soon as he pulled out of the attempt last time.

Not really.  At least some people will be much more inclined to donate if there's some transparency about what it's spent on.

Whether that additional income is worth the hassle of publishing accounts will likely depend on how much he needs the money.  If he can get by on the donations from those who don't care, then why waste time on it?

(It would of course likely to be of interest to some of us, in much the same way his choice of equipment, diet or training regime would be.  But keeping us informed about that sort of thing is secondary to the goal.)

I have just read about the MB diet. How will this be followed when eating at McDonalds?

BIG MAC or sausage and egg muffin served without the bun would be my guess... a good tactic for Keto friendly fast food too

As I recall, KFC is Atkins - and somewhat tenuously, by extension - Keto, approved.

I used to regard eating KFC as a form of self abuse, only to be undertaken when I found myself in a pit of despair and self-loathing.

Now it's a superfood! Who knew?

KFC is made of (very small) bits of chicken surrounded by huge amounts of wheat flour. Are you sure this is Keto approved?
