Had a couple of drop ins to the salubrius Northam Caravan park the other night. Steve and Joe are riding from Perth to Sydney in 30 days to raise money for the Willow foundation (for seriously ill young adults). These couple of train drivers from the old dart found the going pretty tough on day one. We offered to cook dinner for them but they were too exhausted to eat (managed to squeeze down a couple of beers though). They also had a touch of sunburn and managed to set their tent up on an ants nest and then kept each other awake all night with their snoring. They've also decided that they have perhaps brought a bit too much gear with them. So if you would like to make an offer on a laptop computer, a very large camera (with two massive lenses), spare pedals and bike seats, dress shoes, spare bike shoes or a solar panel (I kid you not!) get in touch with them on 07799864344 (by the way fellas, the number wont work on my phone - can you text me and let me know how you're getting on). I'm sure they would also appreciate a message of encouragement as they fly across the Nullabour. We wish you all the best chaps!
Might be a chance for the TDF 2010?
