Great Victorian Bike Ride
That man who started to bike at 79 and now still rides at 85 certainly deserves attention from the media. -- goldenchickenIV you should push so much that you cross the finish line exhausted, but not dead --- Klaas Bil ------------------------------------------------------------------------ goldenchickenIV's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/16391 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/74727 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com |

Great Victorian Bike Ride
It was awesome ride. It went for 9 days with 8 days of riding and a rest day in Halls Gap, in the Grampians. The ride started in Ballarat and headed west out to the Grampians and then turned around to head back to Ballarat. On the riding days we rode for about 50 - 100 kms through forests, mountains and farmland. The uni performed great, no mechanical issues at all. It was fun passing the bikes up the hills and during the headwinds, conversley they passed me easily down the hills and with the tailwinds. They were generally quite impressed with the unicycles attempting such a ride, some could not believe I had ridden the whole way by the end of the ride. My legs were very tired at the end but I got a huge sense of achievement from having made it to the finish. Next year's ride will be from Portland to Geelong, along the Great Ocean Road. If any unicyclists are interested in doing this ride let me know. I think entries will be open in the middle of next year. -- MT High ------------------------------------------------------------------------ MT High's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/15078 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/74727 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com |

There was an amputee (leg) who rode and at least one hand cycle which I think would have to be the toughest way of doing the ride. I didn't call the media myself, they rang me. It was up to the individual riders if they wanted to be included in the media coverage. I think I'm getting addicted to it though. -- MT High ------------------------------------------------------------------------ MT High's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/15078 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/74727 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com |

You can register your interest in next years Great Ocean Road ride: http://tinyurl.com/6qv9kj Looks like the last Great Vic Great Ocean Road ride was huge, over 8000 riders! Would be great to have a big uni turn out next year, such an iconic length of road - too good an opportunity to miss. -- lunicycle ------------------------------------------------------------------------ lunicycle's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/16926 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/74727 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com |
