The wheels are turning

We’re finally on the road.

At nine o’clock this morning our team of seven cyclists and our trusty support crew said goodbye to friends and family as we left 98.5 Sonshine FM in Como to begin our ride for cancer. If you missed the details you can read all the details at my previous post, Cycling to fight cancer.

Today’s a big day with a ride up Greenmount Hill followed by several more challenging hills until we get to York this afternoon. It’s a tough road but I’m reminded that those who are facing cancer often travel a much harder road. I’m glad to be relatively healthy and happy to do what I can to help people facing some tough times.

As I try to balance cycling and radio boradcasting over the next week I’m not sure how much opportunity I’ll have to update you during the trip. I’m hoping it’ll be often but I really don’t know if that will happen.

Thanks for your support.

  • Hi

    You sure did pick a good day to start your ride. I hope the heat has not done to much damage and today and the rest of the ride is more pleasant. All the best with the fund-raising.

    Regards

    • Thanks Andrew.

      Saturday certainly kncked people about but thankfully yesterday was much nicer on the bike. 87 kilometres of pure cycling joy. 🙂

      I’ve just put a short video of the first day up on the blog. I’ll be trying to add more as I’m able.
