A special thanks to Ironman, Gympie, and our appreciation to everyone who supported the raffle - it'll be back in 2025.

Stay safe, and we'll see you in 2025.

GCC24-5

Just completed our final ride for GCC 2024 - a short burst along the Derwent River foreshore.

I knew, as we coasted (literally blown along), with a strong tail wind that the return trip to the car was going to be a battle - never a more accurate description.

It was a case if you weren't pedalling, you would get blown to an abrupt stop.

It was an experience when we were hit broadside - my grandson (Hayden) was forced to ride like a puppy on a lead (you know - the ones that lean right over). Lol!

To everyone that supported Team HJK, Hayden or myself this GCC - our heartfelt thanks and appreciation of your support.

We will be back in 2025 to continue to raise awareness and money for children fighting cancer.

Stay safe.

Thank you.

GCC24-4

Tuesday saw the Team HJK manager, Hayden, achieve his km goal - a great effort.

This happened on the way IN to Hobart for a GCC morning tea that was arranged by his mother Tahnee and supported by his two aunts Jenni and Shani - a definite family effort.

My thanks to everyone involved and especially to those who attended the event and helped raise funds for the GCC.

After the event, it was time to head OUT of town and start using some of the calories, which we'd just eaten - a vicious little circle. Lol!

Hopefully, there will be some more rides over the next few days - weather pending.

Stay safe.

GCC24-3

With the kind support of the "Tasmanian Weather Gods," we managed our first GCC ride in and around the very scenic Brighton & Pontville areas.

Located a nice ride along the Jordan River Trail - oddly enough, we found the END before the START (did exactly the same thing in 2023 & had to do it twice. Lol!).

Thanks to everyone who has donated to this great cause - very appreciated. To those wishing to donate - follow the prompts, as provided, OR give me a call, and I'll help you out.

With a "little luck," we should get another ride in tomorrow - the Team Manager (Hayden) has an "off road" area near a local dam in mind. I can envisage "dirt and mud" tomorrow, but it'll be fun.

The obligatory "cheesy" photo of Hayden during today's pedal - in Brighton, TAS.
