The Warm Up & Day 0 | Albury to Mt Hotham | 165km

First off and most importantly I would like to thank each and every one of you for your support. I am so very proud to announce, that prior to the start of ride we have raised….over $34,000.00!!!!!!!

I’m sure you all knew that I was always going to back up again this year and i’m sure many of you thought – 1,290kms was nothing on last years 1,520kms!

Just to confirm how committed, and truly crazy I really am – “why not ride to the starting line!!!”

So I gathered Clint and three more crazy guys and thought “lets fly to Albury and ride to Mount Hotham!” That makes up 165 kms of the missing 230kms, and the remaining 65kms – well im sure the 1,500m elevation/climb to the top of Mount Hotham makes up for that.

After some last minute adjustments to our wheels with the help of our friends at Albury Cycles we made our way out of Albury and headed for Bright via Strawberry Vines, Myrtleford, finishing off with a quick dip in the water and a a beer at Bright Brewery.
