Mad motorcyclist to run 26-mile race in aid of Macmillan Cancer Support dressed in full bike leathers




Let's all pray for cold weather on Sunday 13th


A MOTORCYCLIST is to run this year's London Marathon dressed in full bike leathers.

Mike Taylor, 35, is doing the sweaty stunt to raise money for Macmillan Cancer Support, a charity which supported his mother when she underwent treatment for breast cancer several years ago.

When asked what sort of response he gets from his outfit when he's out on a training run, Mr Taylor said: "I get some funny looks from most people."

Good luck with the run Mike, but please, don't stick your leathers on eBay afterwards.

Leathers wearing marathon biker says: Never Again!
By Visordown News
Imagine running 26 miles in a set of leathers. We've had a shout around the office and the best we've done is about 50 metres


Taylor ... ran marathon in leathers. Respect


THE hard-as-nails biker who ran the London Marathon in full leathers has said he would never do it again.

Mike Taylor, 35, from Rhyl in Denbigshire managed to run the 26 mile long course at the time he wanted - under six hours, but said: "I am never doing that again!"

Taylor said he was 'ecstatic' to have hit his target time. He ran the famous course in leathers last Sunday to raise money for Macmillan Cancer Support.

He managed to clock a best time of five hours and 42 minutes.

He added: "From 20 miles onwards it was the home stretch. It got very wet then and a lot of people were suffering from the cold, but I was fine. It was a fantastic feeling getting across that finishing line. Everyone crossing the line was congratulating each other."
