The Night Before the Morning of the Ride
October 9, 2009 in Events News by
It is 11.21 pm on October 8 …the night before the tour …Dave (my head of support) and I have been on the run since 5am yesterday, October 7.
Yesterday consisted of 15 hrs in the car travelling from Sydney to Kallangur, Brisbane. There we had a few logistical meetings and the sorting of riders kit bags (the stuff that keeps them informed and energised between pit stops).
Today was another busy day getting every final detail organised for the 400km ride over the weekend. It included the collection of support vehicles from Budget and Range Rover, plus getting an elegant sufficiency of bananas and carbo foods from Clayfield Markets, before final discussions with riders, supports and sponsors.
A pasta night was held in Milton tonight to carbo load for the first 128km to Noosa tomorrow, the handing out of kit bags, and a general meet and greet with the riders.
The support team are well equipped and the riders are itching to go. Some of the riders will handle tomorrow with ease whilst some will be chatting to *Elvis* before lunch!
Tomorrow comprises of 128 clicks and we will be and at ‘em by 5am. Brekkie is being served at 515 and the riders are due to arrive at 6.30am for a 7.30am departure. By the time you read this blog, we’ll be well on our way to Noosa!
I can’t wait to don the Lycra, brief the riders, and head to Noosa. Weather is forecast to be a beautiful 28 degrees and paradise is calling.
Stay tuned and help us raise $200K for critically injured kids,
