Poit about to break a record
Peter Heal (Poit) has been pedalling his recumbent unassisted around
Australia for the past 45 days. He's now in Geelong and only days away from finishing in Sydney. You can keep up with him on the yahoo group or watch his progress updated every 15 minutes on Trackleaders.com. He says he has a dinner date in Sydney on Saturday night so you can expect him to be at the Harbour Bridge before that. He can't accept any form of assistance according to the rules but you can wave as he rides up the Princes Hwy or be there to watch him cross the finish line. An outstanding effort at over 300km per day. |

There is nothing I can offer but my respect and admiration for someone as crazy as that - around Australia without assistance. Saturday night, eh? Hm.... Good on yer, Poit - PEDAL POWER!!!!!!!!!! |

Even if he doesn't get the record (but here's hoping), it's still very impressive - apart from the recumbent part runs and hides from outraged leather elbow patch wearers ;^) Geelong's well in his rearview mirrors now - he's at Bairnsdale. http://trackleaders.com/aroundozi.php?name=Peter_Heal Tony F |

There are easier ways to have the operation! Zebee |

That puts him at the Sydie Harbour Bridge about 8pm or so at the speed he's pedalling. Get down there with your streamers all you Sydneysiders, or just get out on the road and wave and cheer as he goes past your place! |

He's requested that people only wave as he goes past, you could follow him I suppose. |
