A great night over a couple of beverages certainly helped allay ‘some’ fears. We have all arrived, whether under done or over done, for this crazy adventure that lies ahead of us.
Part of my fears were always subdued knowing that I had a ‘local’ with me. Although we will most likely be riding different km’s each day, knowing he’s around on the path I’m traveling is a little settling. Not only are you a champion bloke you’re a committed cyclist who most of the time trains and rides solo. Well done on your journey thus far.
To all the Dot Watchers, Trail Angels and supporters I will see along the way, I can’t wait to meet you!
Good luck to all competing this year, I certainly hope to see your dot reach the Opera House.
Thanks to Damian van Loon for the awesome images of last night.

Ride well Crossy. Our household will be eagerly watching your dot. I know you will ride smart and safe. I’m sure you will be on many of our minds constantly over the next few weeks. Peter.

Oh and make sure you enjoy at least some of it!!

Hey Mick,
Well done on your upcoming epic adventure. It’s huge, no doubting that…..in fact I find it hard to wrap my head around. What I do know is you have that never say die attitude that is the “must” prerequisite….you have it in spades.
Looking forward to tracking your way
Mike
