Cycle Against the Beast – 2022 16th March, 2022 Shepparton (12:58) V/line 2:41 Southern Cross (15:39) Unknown All stops I woke up not feeling any more confident than I did yesterday. Added to that, it was pouring down with rain. I waited as long as possible for the rain to stop, but it...
Update: Unfortunately, this ride was abandoned to some very sore knees due to an old injury. On the 5th of October, 2019, I will be setting off on my second charity ride for FightMND! I will be departing from the Sydney Cricket Ground (SCG), at 07:30, to begin my 2000 km ride to the...
Happy new year, to one and all, for 2019! For 2018, I didn’t fit in as much cycling as I’d hoped for – didn’t even breach the 1000 km mark! This was partly due to my coming off my bike, around mid-2018, and giving it a break for a couple of months. 2019, though...

As I (start to) write this, I’m sitting back watching the Anzac Day AFL match, on TV, between Essendon and Collingwood, which is being played at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG), and thinking that it’s less than 7 weeks until I’ll be there, watching Melbourne and...
Just over six months ago, after attending a footy match at the MCG, I decided that I would ride from Spotless Stadium, in Sydney, to the MCG (Melbourne Cricket Ground), in Melbourne, to arrive in time for the 2016 AFL Grand Final. At that time, I had no real idea in mind of raising money...
UPDATE: With the newly released AFL fixture for 2016, the Grand Final will be on the 1st of October. This will mean setting off on the 17th of September, arriving by the 30th of September. For the last two years, I’ve spent a week visiting one of my sisters and brother-in-law in...
