    Although I work with tehnology I was 22 when the internet came around so just worked out where your blog actually was and you are already days into the big ride! WE just realised this is for 204 days- Luke has pledged a dollar a day towards your fundraising efforts! We’re so amazed at the stamina of your team, so keep up the great work for Rotary and enjoy the scenery of WA. much love from KJ & Luke

  9. Hi Ross,
    Great reading and pics…. can’t believe the consistency of smiles.

    Sue and I have been across to Timor Leste a couple of times establishing The Award over there. To celebrate their 10th Anniversary they have initiated the Tour de Timor. http://www.tourdetimor.com, with a $75,000 prize pool and some very challenging country.

  10. Rossco, Been a while since I tuned in – new job and all the other things keeping me busy. Great to see you are now heading East. Unfortunately don’t think I will be able to join you on the run into Melbourne but still planning dinner on Tuesday 13th Oct. You are still welcome to join me on around the bay on the following Sunday if you like!
    Mark
