Cycle Against the Beast – 2022 13th March, 2022 Albury 0 km 385.96 km* Today was always going to be a rest day, which I’d originally planned to spend at Ariah Park. I was then to proceed cycling on to possibly Lockhart (which would have made it a very long day) tomorrow. Instead, I...
Cycle Against the Beast – 2022 11th March, 2022 Griffith 0 km 372.06 km Today, I decided I wasn’t going to get on the bike. The last several day’s frustrations had finally got to me. I also had an internal debate as to whether I could even carry on after the end of the week. I...
Cycle Against the Beast – 2022 8th March, 2022 Albury 0 km 253.44 km Today was going to be an easy day for me. Not necessarily by choice, either. I didn’t really want to ride my bike until I knew what the source was for these constant punctures. But at least the day started well...

Cycle Against the Beast – 2022 28th February, 2022 Picton NSW Trainlink N/A Cootamundra Various Cootamundra Another look at the weather forecast this morning. Suffice to say, it was grim. Not just for today, but for the rest of the week. There was absolutely no way that I was going to...
Pedal Cure 4 FightMND – 2020 7th March, 2020 Ungarie 0 km 412.02 km Today was a rest day. I was actually up much earlier than I expected. I wandered around for a while, Ungarie is a very small town, with very few shops in it. Hardly any, to be honest. I walked up and down the main street...
Pedal Cure 4 FightMND – 2020 5th March, 2020 Forbes 0 km 290.22 km I woke up and it was, as expected, bucketing down with rain. I made the right call by not thinking of cycling today. Today has now effectively become a rest day, as I’m being driven on to Forbes. I was picked up at...
