15 days, 1,200km cycled and $1.4 Million RAISED for the Immune Deficiency Foundation! ✨A MASSIVE thank you to everyone who tuned in and supported our monstrous journey from snowy Aomori to the chaotic streets of Osaka. This was the 5th Cyclethon and undoubtedly the most challenging. The first few days were painfully tough battling Siberian gales on the northeast coast, being relentlessly pelted with hail and endless rain. By Day Three honestly I started to think I wouldn’t make it to the finish line. But by week two, contempt at choosing the Sea of Japan coastal route soon gave way to spectacular weather, serene fishing villages and stunning mountain passes. The winds turned in our favour and the concept of hope returned once again. We were joined by amazing guests from start to finish, thanks to Ironmouse, Schlatt, Garnt, Rob and Felix for keeping our spirits up along the way. And of course to the incredible van gang of Ian, Paul, Nabi and Ryo for their support everyday of the trip. Pete as always was the ultimate hype man, and of course, a huge well done to Connor for once again making this event happen and for firing up so many people around the world to get involved! It’s been an absolute honor and privilege as always to be a part of the greatest community on Earth. Thank you so much guys 🍻 Please pray for my legs.
