T4 Achievable Adventure

We (Bonz and Eddie) are just about to drive out to a place in South East Queensland where we will learn to ride horses, feed farm animals and most importantly of all eat as much bush tucker as we can get our hands on.

Now as both of us haven't been on a horse for a very long time, (me never) this could be very interesting to say the least.

OUR LOCATION will be About 1hr 1/2 south west of Brisbane

Lilydale Host Farm look out here we come!

T4 Charity

There will be some exciting news to release next week in relation to a certain marathon (one of the biggest in the world) and a charity that a couple of the members of the T4 team will be raising money for, while training for one of the biggest events of their lives.

We will update you on how our training and fund-raising efforts throughout the week have progressed regardless of how good, bad or ugly the results may be.

By taking something you love and combining it with a charity that both inspires you to train harder and allows you as an athlete/weekend warrior to give something back is extremely important to me and to the members of the T4 team.

There are plenty of options out there for you, if this is of interest no matter how big or small you think the event/challenge is, here is a fantastic website, where you can create your very own event or join another and start fund raising in conjunction with your personal goals immediately, check out run for charity http://www.runforcharity.com.au

We will hopefully announce a partnership that we hope will foster mutual benefits over the coming years....very soon...

Wednesday Morning - Gap Creek Ride

Gap Creek is only 15 mins from Brisbane City and worth getting out and playing around the tracks if your bike has been sitting at home collecting dust. There are plenty of Mountain Bike only tracks graded beginner to intermediate.

Every Wednesday morning we will post random photos that we have taken from Gap Creek. We are up out on the track by 6 back in the city to start work by 8am... There will be tears, stacks, jumps, cool scenery and other interesting things :)

See the start of our collection, ENJOY!!

Brisbane to Gold Coast 2010 - Cancelled due to Massive Rainfalls.

With some good reason the event was cancelled the afternoon before by organisers, as storms on the day of the event recorded up to 290mm in under 24 hours, and winds up to 40mph.

Check out the rainfall radar:

The event will be held on a date in the near future when the rain stops.. and it has been non-stop for nearly three weeks now. Bring back the sun!

See Bicycle Queensland for more details.

Thank you Australia Post Gods, for hearing my Prayer. Amen.

I got a call from Sandy this morning telling me my shoes should arrive today, but I didn't want to get excited in case the pedals didn't show up.

Well they both turned up at the same time and now I am walking around the office in my shoes trying to break them in!

Everyone thinks I am a little strange and like a kid at Christmas excited about my new presents... maybe they're right :)

Bring on Sunday's Ride!
