My Story
This is my fifth year of participation in this challenge.
Together we have raised over $11000 for the Children's Medical Research Institute.
This year the bulk of my rides will be done in Victoria with my initial target set at 800kms.
However I will be stepping outside my comfort zone with an additional aspirational target which I will determine as my riding progresses.
Cancer is a scourge on our society and especially more so when children are inflicted with the disease.
Every dollar raised will enable continued important research into childhood cancers.
Your continued support is very much appreciated.

GCC25 Ride 17
26 Oct 2025This ride achieves my revised ride distance target. What a day with the unpredictability of Melbournes weather though maybe predictable would be more appropriate.
A heavily o’cast and coolish morning greeted us at Queenscliff to board the ferry to Sorrento. The ride commenced on disembarking with much anticipation from the hundreds of riders participating in the Around the Bay event.
No rain for the first 25kms then steady rain until about the 90kms mark. Then just to taunt us the sun shone brightly.
The support over the last month has been exceptional and the CMRI has benefited with $4731 from your donations. I feel privileged to be part of it.

GCC25 Ride 15
24 Oct 2025Today was my most challenging ride so far. The distance and especially the climbing was well in excess of anything I had recently tackled. However I’m quickly closing the gap to my revised distance target.
