Blue sky and the roar of the ocean……and some training in front of a cameraman and sound guy!
We can’t tell you what Jack was doing in detail except for 2 words - Ranger Stacey!

When you’re flying along at 50 km/hr on your Trek the one thing you really don’t want to see standing on the side of the road is a kangaroo.
You see, kangaroos aren’t exactly know for their road sense. But this one was okay. He managed to miss Jack by a whopping 0.5 second! Let’s go to the video…….

I’ve had a few people ask me for a training update:
All going great. We’re cycling anywhere between 50-100km most days. Some days hills, some days nice and flat.
Mel and I came home today to find a note from Jack that he’d gone for a ride (which he often does by himself). We zipped out and caught him on a nice climb he does when he only has an hour or so.
Here’s the elevation profile (towards the end of the video you get a good sense of just how steep the climb is):
Check out Jack’s promo video below - it features a great song too with very appropriate lyrics!

Robbie McEwen is one of the greats of world cycling - a brilliant sprinter who has been at the top for many years.
His amazing win in the first stage of the 2007 Tour de France was a win only champions can pull off.

Robbie has come on board as our Ride Ambassador and had this to say:
“To dedicate and use the ride to raise funds and awareness for the great work of Big Brothers Big Sisters of Australia is a testament to Jack and I’ve been extremely impressed by his preparation, his dedication and his commitment to supporting those who need a helping hand.”
Robbie’s a great guy who does a lot to promote cycling, as well as his charity work - thanks Robbie.
Brendon & Jack
Jack’s brother Harry (13 yo) and big sis Laura (16 yo) have put together an intro video. All we need is the music from Rocky!
Hope you enjoy it.

Jack's dad Brendon is doing the ride with him.
Brendon is a former Ironman Triathlete, marathon runner, marathon swimmer, ultra endurance cyclist......and male nurse (that's where he met Jack's mum - she was a nurse too).
Brendon is 41 and looks a lot older!
Mel (Jack's mum) looks very, very young and we will not divulge her age!
Take our survey and you can win great prizes!
And don't forget that you are supporting Big Brothers Big Sisters of Australia.
