We decided as this would be one of our biggest days riding and we were leaving from Adelaide and there should be no wild animals to worry about for the first two hours, to leave at 5am. This turned out to be a mistake, not for the animals but for the freezing cold temperatures we would endure north of Adelaide. Anyone who said one, Australia is a hot [more]
Adelaide Beach and underwater clean up with Adelaide Scuba was another great day. Josh and Dahni D’Ambrosio took good care of us with a fine crew of professionals setting the stage for a good day and a fun fundraiser. The beach clean up was conducted on Glenelge beach and I’m happy to say there was not a lot of debris found as the beach is kept clean, however we did find a good bag or so, [more]

Arriving in Sydney we were excited about picking up the bikes, making contact with Dive Adventure and Kel from St George Underwater Center in preparation for Sundays cleanup.
