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.
