The boys are now in Brisbane preparing for the first test. They have ridden 557 miles and are enjoying a day off before meeting up with fellow Esher stalwarts, Jamie Robinson, Mark Newman and others for a quiet beer or two. The ride north took them through the hilly suburbs of Sydney in headwinds of 47 mph before becoming generally much more benign and rural.
They briefly enjoyed the delights of Buledelah, Port Maacguarie, Coffs Harbour, Iluka and the Gold Coast. Donations to the MND Doddie Weir charity have been picked up along the way including a very generous $200 from Aussie legend, Owen Finnigan. The tally now stands at £6,969 with a target of £10,000 so please keep the donations coming.
