We just rolled into the town of Young on our first leg of the trip as we cycle from Canberra Zoo to Dubbo Western Plains Zoo for the Black Dog Institute.
I’m proud to have made all 185km,, yet I’m pretty tired and my ass is pretty sore.. ha!
There are 20 of us in the group, ranging from elite cyclists who make their money taking people on tours around the European alps (which I would love to do one day!) through to casual weekend rollers.
I guess I would fall somewhere in-between there, it is still a decent distance to go ahead of us.
We have amazing support along the way with two of the wives of cyclists in the support vehicles along with Andrew, an amazingly community spirited guy who has supported several of these trips. Including the Sydney to Dubbo rides, which is a similar distance ride in October.
I signed up with three friends; Webby, Garth and Nick and the people on the ride also seem like a great bunch of people and always keen to have a chat along the way.
So far so good!
Thanks to everyone for their generous donations to the Black Dog Institute, an awesome charity I am fully behind.
