Roll On 2024 GCC.

We are three months from the challenge and I feel great. I have been riding and hitting the gym to continue my recovery from the rotator-cuff injury last year.

Some days, I am combining the two and that sure hits me - usually an early night after that.

I’m looking forward to extending my goal to 200km for the month. I have managed to complete each pledge in the previous years, and I don’t see that this year will be any different. It may not seem like a huge goal, but for a sedentary 60 year old, it is enough. The main point about goals is to make them achievable and also pushing your limits, which is what this one does. I am hoping to be back at work by then, so will be doing the 7/7 roster (unless some other roster comes along).

To all of those who have supported me in achieving my $$$ in the past, thank you. Without you, none of this would be happening. You are the ones that give us our greatest achievement - smiles on the faces of young sick kids.

Thank- you.

My Third Year

So many things start off as just an idea.

I was unaware of the GCC, but when I heard about it I was exercising well. What the heck I thought. So I did the challenge.

The next year I had been involved in an industrial accident, so had to be very careful about what I did. I managed to complete it and thought it would be easier next year.

Roll on 2023, I got a snapped rotator-cuff tendon in late August. Arm in a sling, I couldn’t ride. I asked admin how I could participate. They gave me the option of riding a stationary bike at home. Thanks to these guys I was able to raise funds for the third year in a row.

If you are looking for a great cause, this is it. Get fit and help kids.

It’s a no-brainer.
