There are no photos however of Richard - so here we are - a photo of both riders courtesy of the Barossa & Light Herald, who recently ran an article about the guys in their local paper.
Ashley is the one on the left in the red Big Wish Bike Ride T-shirt from the 2006 ride, and obviously Richard is shown on the right!
They look like normal people don't they?
They are really crazy nuts who are prepared to ride a mere 4000 kms in about 3 weeks!
All this to support Make-A-Wish Australia ..... and get the odd massage or two as well.
I know they look pretty scrappy in their "civilian" clothes, so if you want to help clothe them in proper cycling jerseys and shorts - send me an email and we can discuss your options.
They will need to update their bikes as well and we are looking for help in that area too. If you have any contacts or want to donate some cash, let me know!
Poor Richard is suffering badly with a cold and was unable to make it to our meeting last night - hope you feel better soon Richard and can get back to work today. Anyway - Ashley and I had a great meeting - talked about almost everything else except the Launch! So we meet again next week ......
Seriously though - we seem to be almost organised. We have the services of a wonderful Auctioneer in Golden Gavel winner, Lindsay Warner. He was the auctioneer at the recent Make-A-Wish Adelaide Gala Ball - a great success!
Our Band, Fear of Flying, is confirmed and now all we need is an MC. Any suggestions? Let me know.
Number 4 son just arrived home so will now go and do the motherly thing and iron his work shirt!
Talk again soon......
