• 3 weeks down, 1 & a bit to go
    24 Oct 2026

    A full mixture of weather this week as well as a ride range of sights, wriggling sticks, angry muma ducks, ducklings, Swan's, signets, dogs running, dogs in trailers, dogs in backpack, rabbit loose in the backstreet, lots of kids with parents & great to see family group's out riding or walking.

    I'm tired, sore & determined to complete the km & the $'s so if you've not donated yet please do so if you can. 🤗

    Thanks everyone.

  • Halfway through the month
    15 Oct 2026

    We are now halfway through the month's challenge & have experienced all the different weather that mother nature could throw at us.  Last Thursday's mid 30's with hot winds to the next day with rain & a top of 13.  When the rain hit I was about 15km from home & seeing as I wasn't going to get any wetter I continued on & completed the 70km ride that I'd planned.  The only constant has been the wind, e v e r y  day.

    The good news is that nationally we have now raised over $2M as of this morning!  Your help has been awesome, thank you very much.  Your donations through me are now at $5053 (79%), of the $6411 target, awesome!  I thank everyone of you for getting behind me & this great cause.

    We still have a long way to go, me another 794km & a 10km running race this weekend at Mclaren Vale.

    Further donations of $1358 to reach target of $6411.

    Cancer sucks so lets kick it's butt.

    It's for the kids however all sufferers will benefit.

    These are a few highlight photos from the interesting routes that I have ridden in the past week.  Enjoy.
