$560,000 raised so far
Great News, the Tour de Cure has raised over 560,000 so far with 7 weeks to go before kick off day. My personal total is up to $7500 so a little way to go to meet my $10,000 target. Thanks to everybody that has donated so far, we are working on getting up to the one million dollars raised this year.

Mt Nebo with Peta
Every Friday is Mt Nebo day now and since the Nebo Veteran Starry is away in China I took on the “Mr Experienced” role today (after 3 times up !!). Anyway today was Peta’s first ride up Mt Nebo so we met this morning and off we went. Peta went really well for not doing any hills since she broke her foot some time ago so. Well done Peta !! …Read more

Riding with Rockstars
This week I have been riding with a new group of guys and girls. Each morning they co-ordinate their meeting place and their attire for their ride. Each member has a different path in life but are bought together by a similar interest and hobby, riding. When I started this journey I expected to do a lot of riding by myself and some with other people. Riding with these guys …Read more

Someone said that they thought that there was a train …Read more

When I got there it was just misty rain but nobody else turned up !! While considering …Read more

WET, WET, WET
Its been a bit wet the last few days but that hasnt stopped me riding. At least its not too cold riding in the rain. Normally I would see 20 other bicyclists in the morning but this morning I only saw one !! That either makes me dedicated or really silly !! When it is raining like this I normally take my old mountain bike, its got better tyres for …Read more

Mount Nebo
One of the other Tour de Cure riders (Mark “Starry” Star) invited me to come with him for a ride today. The plan was to go up Mount Nebo, a big hill on the north side of Brisbane. I have to say that I was a bit nervous wondering if I could make it up. The climb to the top is 20km and most of it is up, up, up, …Read more
