Just a quick note to let you we arrived back in Melbourne to the Royal Yacht Club in Williamstown safe and sound on Friday afternoon. After mechanical issues over the first couple of days, things settled down nicely thanks to Paul’s loan bike and I managed to knock over 990km in total, this technically is far enough to get from the Sydney Opera House to Melbourne Town Hall via the Hume Highway with a few metres to spare so mission accomplished.
In total, I raised $2,246 and the whole ride $100,000 – this will go to a great cause in fighting cancer which I know all of you have been affected in one way or another over the years.
I can’t thank you enough for both your financial contribution as well as the messages of support I got along the way. There were a couple of times in the last few days when I felt like waiting for the Sag Wagon (cycling terminology for throwing the bike on the bus at the back and getting a lift) but knowing I had the support of you all as well as the other riders & support crew made all the difference.
Finally a big thanks to my wife Julie who did everything at home while I was away which included me missing her Birthday!
