No one else has taken up the challenge to make this a gossip thread, so I'll ramble on.
Tomorrow I'm riding as Moto-crew for the Brisbane RTCC- Ride To Conquer Cancer. About 1500 pushbike riders ride 100 km raising sponsorship money for cancer research. I did the same thing last year for the inaugural one, and I see Sydney, Melbourne and Perth have one this year also. The major sponsor is Rio Tinto who pour a lot of money into making it happen. Everyone camps out at Lake Wivenhoe tomorrow night then ride all the way back to the starting point at the University of Queensland.
As Moto-crew we ensure safety at intersections and ride up and down the column helping anyone in trouble and encouraging those who are struggling. There are three pit stops, including a lunch break. The route takes in Chelmer, Richlands, Ipswich and Fernvale.
A mate whose wife had breast cancer which metastisised to her liver put up his hand to raise the minimum required to qualify: $2500. Last time I saw his webpage he had $11,600. That's the sort of friends he has!
The homepage is here:

If anyone in Perth would like to help out, yours is October 20-21st. Sydney is October 13-14.
Believe me, it's a great experience. I found it very moving when I did Moto-crew last year.
Don't be put off by the "Harley Crew" thing. They were going to supply 40 crew this year in Brisbane and managed to muster 13. It was HD Aust trying to do a bit of promo work while putting up the $50 per rider that we each paid last year. So this year we "miscellaneous makes riders" get our fee paid by HD. Gotta laugh! :thumbsup

Things only happen when you just get up and do it...
