Zoo2Zoo for Mental Health!

I'm taking part in Zoo2Zoo to raise vital funds vital funds for Black Dog Institute. 

1 in 5 of us will experience symptoms of mental illness in any given year. In Australia that’s around 5 million people. And roughly 60% of these people won’t seek help.

I will saddle up and raise funds to show support for mental health research.

Please donate and empower everyone in Australia to look after their mental health.

Finished another Melbourne to Dubbo Zoo2zoo Black Dog ride. Over 1300 kms riding with a terrific group of like minded people. Amazing support crew who without the ride would not be possible. A massive thankyou to everyone who generously donated to this important cause. Donations still coming in which is wonderful to see. Also managed to run/walk approximately 40 kms off the bike over the week which makes it a great training block for Ironman and Ultraman in early May.
Thanks again..
Cheers

Day eight

Sunday 9th Mar
Young to Molong. A tough day on the saddle. About 170 kms and a buffeting cross wind. No running gear at the finish so had to settle for a long neck of green Coopers. Fantastic black shirt dinner at the Lime and Stone Cafe in Molong.

Sometimes you need more than water and electrolytes!!! Of course at the end of a big day!!!

Day six and day seven

Friday 7th Mar
Day six. Cooma to Canberra. A safety first day riding on the main highway. Three organised groups riding in single file and just trying to be super safe. No run off the bike, just an hour fast asleep before dinner and meeting with two employees of the Black Dog Institute to hear what the research and funding goes towards. 
Day seven. A big days ride to Young on a side road that crosses the Murrumbidgee. Beautiful scenery and a generous SE tailwind. 195 kms and a solid 12 km run off the bike. Dinner at the Australian Hotel in Young. Went down well with a few beers and a red wine. Destination tomorrow Molong.
Cheers

Day five

Wednesday 5th Mar
Thredbo to Cooma via Dalgety. Bit dry and not much feed in the paddocks but a great days riding. About 140 kms and an hour and twenty minute run/walk off the bike. Kangaroo court tonight to raise a few more dollars. 

Day four

Tuesday 4th Mar
The shortest ride of the week today but all uphill from Corryong to Thredbo. A very short 2km run off the bike. Great weather so far. Very dry in Victoria. Hopefully rain at the end of the week.

Monday 3rd Mar
Early morning of day three of this year’s ride and the longest day on the bike at 215 kms in front of us. Day one was 165 kms with an 11 km run off the bike. Day two another 165 kms and a one hour forty minute walk off the bike. I’m planning on run/walking 42 kms off the bike over the eight days riding. 
Most people know someone close to them that have suffered or suffer from mental health issues. If you’re one of those people the Black Dog Institute does an amazing raising funds for research and raising awareness of this issue. I would be most appreciative of any donations made to this great cause no matter how small they might be.
Cheers
