2008 Charity Bike Ride - Mungindi to Cllarenebri




I had so much fun.... My team 'Shades of Green' all rode really well. With some late changes to the team due to illness our driver wasn't able to make it so Gordon and I had to share the driving. Frankie our youngest rider put in about 15km Gordon and I did about 50km each and Andrew kicked some serious butt riding the entire 100km. We stopped for lunch and a rest at Burren Burren for about 1/2 an hour and then set off again.

Check out the photos.













The aftermath- I thought my legs would be very sore but it turns out only my calves are feeling a bit wobbly today, my butt is killing me but I guess that's to be expected. What I didn't expect is that my armpits would be aching. I KNOW?? - how the heck do armpits ache but mine do. Weird right!
Anyway I think i'll be able to make it up the stairs at work tomorrow, I might even go for another ride somewhere just to keep the momentum going.
I got to meet so many wonderful people and help raise some money for Charity and to top it all off I also got to have a little jam on stage and sing a few of my songs - What an awesome day.
Last but not least I really want to say a big Thankyou to all the people that kept us fed and watered on the trip and to an absolute legend Kelly Smith who survived cancer and now shares his time with others to help them see the positives in a bad situation.
I'm off to rest my armpits, have a happy recovery everyone.
See you later,
Victoria
