Posted on 22 May 2012 by Matt Napier

Reflecting on the ride – it was a fantastic experience for me and Wendy and really opened our eyes to how many Australians really want to see an end to world poverty.

The Long Ride – 13 May

Posted on 22 May 2012 by Matt Napier

We left Wagga on the Wednesday and headed for Yass.  First time since leaving Port Augusta we had come across hills that were going to test us. After a long day of riding it was fantastic to roll into Yass knowing that there was only about 60km to go until Manuka Oval. At Yass we [...] Continue Reading

After 2500km of no flat tyres we have had 5 in the last few days (very frustrating) but all part and parcel of a ride like this I guess.

The Long Ride – 1 May

Posted on 02 May 2012 by Matt Napier

We made it to Mildura without any hiccups and had a couple of days to recharge the batteries before we tackle the last leg of the ride. I expect the road to be pretty flat until we hit Wagga Wagga but after that the terrain will become quite hilly as we pass over the Great [...] Continue Reading
