    Hi team,
    sounds like you are travelling very well. I loved the fact that someone handed Brendon a microphone - nothing more needs to be said really - my imagination does the rest. We all know how much he loves the spotlight, and I’m not at all surprised about the ammount of monney collected into the hat.
    Happy birthday to Jack for tomorrow. I hope you all have a wonderful day. Be sure to spoil our boy - there are not too many teenagers out riding for charity on their birthdays - he is a great young man and we admire his generous spirit and enormous strength.
    Love you Jack. Happy birthday from the Hodgman family xoxo

    It is actually September 27th today Brendon.

    So someone totally oblivious top the consequences handed you a microphone. I suspect the people of West Augusta Football club were paying to get you off the microphone.

    All said and done, more money for a great cause.

    Keep dragging the old man along Jack.

Fact:

What a generous team at De Bortoli Wines!

The De Bortoli team heard of our ride dinner and wanted to help out - and let me tell you this: when a big truck full of wine pulls up outside your house and the driver says "Heh Brendon, we have a ton of De Bortoli Wine for you" you don't say no!

Thanks so much to Howard, Alice and the De Bortoli team for taking care of the wine for our Ride Celebration Dinner - really appreciate your help.
