I am a happy little cyclist. I hopped on my “Scottie” at East Benalla\u00a0and hit the road at 6am with weather predictions of 40 degrees plus and hot westerly winds. I was in Euroa having cycled 65kms from the East side of \u00a0Benalla by 11.30am (I did stop for a morning tea break at Violet Town at 8.30am and enjoyed a toasted egg and bacon sanger and a flat white! Yum:-))) then down the Hume to Euroa.<\/p>\n

the road today, violet town for morning tea yummo!<\/p><\/div>\n

horse capital of Victoria!<\/p><\/div>\n

The road was perfect for cycling and I really enjoyed the ride. Heaps of truckies tooting me today. Was on the radio again with Riverina ABC, they’ve been giving me loads of coverage. A lot of interest is building about the Harden Cup this Saturday and fundraising for ride4acure.<\/p>\n

HARDEN CUP ride4acure FUNDRAISER THIS SATURDAY 21ST NOV.\u00a0 Mark Webber and Ben Duggan will\u00a0both be riding at\u00a0Harden Cup this Saturday and also fundraising for ride4acure.\u00a0\u00a0Mark Webber is currently leading the NSW amatuer\/approved riders premiership & Ben Duggan coming second.\u00a0\u00a0 They have put together a fund raiser for the ride4acure-Hannah Rose Melanoma Research Fund.\u00a0\u00a0They have got a pair of raceday silks worn by Nash Rawiller one of Sydney’s leading Jockey’s & stable rider for the Gai Waterhouse team. Nash wore these silks when he won his 21st group 1 aboard “More Joyous”. Mark & Ben have travelled the NSW picnic curcuit as far as Garah in the north to Lochart in the south,out to Come By Chance in the West.\u00a0\u00a0Both Mark and Ben\u00a0live on the Mid North Coast and are great mates on & off the track. The picnic’s consist of about 30 meetings per year & with more support they are growing bigger all the time. Its great to be able to put on a day like at Harden for such a great charity. Over the last 9 weeks alone\u00a0Mark and Ben\u00a0have chalked up over 10,000 kms and have ridden 20 winners between them.\u00a0 Its such great atmosphere at these race meetings as its a once a year annual event for the towns & the people love flocking to them.\u00a0 Mark & Ben are also putting together a few pictures to be viewed on their facebook accounts for anyone that misses out on the fun, & towards the end of the season next year will be making a small documentary on their experience over the last year. It would be great if a lot other clubs would put forward a picnic meeting once a year\u00a0.\u00a0Mark and Ben have said that \u00a0fundraising that\u00a0they are doing for ride4acure has really lifted\u00a0their spirits &\u00a0they both think\u00a0they will make it an annual\u00a0 event, especially around the summer months as people should be very aware of the risks the sun has on us & how dangerous Melanoma can be.<\/p>\n

Esther will be at the Harden Cup selling ride4acure merchandise and raffling a Parramatta Eels signed jumper, which is being hand delivered by a couple of the top players! A huge thank you to Mark Morrison for his support here (Morrow is Hannah’s old St Paul’s Senior Girls Rugby coach).\u00a0My sister Veronica will be going with Esther to lend a hand. I’ll be pedalling down here in Victoria! Apparently\u00a0we’re in for a cool change on the weekend and a little moisture!<\/p>\n

Three of my sisters are coming to visit on Sunday arvo when I’m at Kilmore! Will be good to see them. Sam leaves and Esther takes over the ute \u00a0wheel for the last week. I’m amazed how I’m now looking down the barrell of the last week of this ride so soon….30 days has gone in a blink, but when I look at the map and see how far I’ve ridden I think quietly to myself, \u00a0“Good Job Mauz!”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
