A big win for the team yesterday with approval to perform a fund raising trick at the Mont 24 hour.
The Mont 24 hour is one of Australia's best known and best attended mountain bike events. There are about 4000 competitors plus their entourages - each and every one of them will have a gold coin to throw into our fund raising bucket!
The trick is this: ride, carry or - if push comes to shove - bend our 5m long bike around a lap of the narrow, twisty, heavily forested single track course...OK, so it will be a 'modified' lap, but it's still quite an undertaking.
Our lap will be pre-race, and be timed to end as all those soft people racing 'normal' bikes line up to begin.
Approval came from Alan Vogt who heads up Self Propelled Enterprises and has been organising the Mont 24 hour for a few years. Thanks Alan!
This all came about from a social dinner Hilary had with a bunch of Canberran mountain bikers, including Ben, the MC at the Mont. Be careful who you talk to...
