Time to start again.

Well the Launch is over and now it is time to start on all our other "stuff".

Good news first - we are very happy to welcome Dulwich IGA as a supporter. Unfortunately they do not have a web site so I cannot link you to it, but their address is 7 Stuart Road, Dulwich. IGA is short for Independent Grocers of Australia. Peter has committed to providing us with water and various other items for our rides in both SA and the main ride. Thank you.

Our next event proposed is a Business Lunch in late August/September. The theme will be "Investing in Todays Climate" and we plan to have guest speakers from the Real Estate, Financial Planning and Lending/Mortgage sectors. Should be a very interesting lunch!

Our first Trial Ride will hopefully be to the Barossa Valley on September 13th. Still have to line it up with the local Make-A-Wish Australia Branch but I am sure they will do something to help us out. Will probably also contact cycling clubs in the Barossa and see if any riders want to join in for part of the ride.

We are also happy to welcome the newest member of our Support Crew, James. This wonderful man has agreed to drive our motorhome, cook all our meals and be nice to all of us! Welcome aboard James - we appreciate your commitment!

We are always looking for new sponsors and those who confirm their support in the next few weeks will have their logos displayed on our new cycling gear. We are planning to have an outfit designed for the Trial Rides, with a separate and more complete outfit ready for the Main Ride next October. Ray from Get Marketing has cheerfully agreed to design them! Thanks Ray! Now I need someone to actually make them - at no charge of course! Will keep you updated on that area of support.

Remember to listen to Coast FM on Thursday this week, 31st July at 4.20pm. Ashley and I will be interviewed by Allan Baird on his "drive" show. 88.7 on your FM dial,

Catch you soon.....
