Cycling For a Reason
Cycling For a Reason
Now I’m very close to the first stage of my challenge. After many hours of preparations and many hours of meditation I feel ready to start and to support IRCAD, Children Cancer Foundation’s and WaterAid.
This morning we had picked up our Camping Car at 10 am. The rental guy explained to us all the functionalities of the Van. As it’s our first time the explanation took almost 1h...what a such adventure !!! Anyway I feel your huge support so everything should be great.
We went to a supermarket (Woolworth) to buy our water (60 liters to start), some pastas, some sauce, Cereals and milk. Don’t worry we didn’t forget the sunblock. Unfortunately and unbelievable they sold only 30+
After finishing our shopping, we enjoyed a very delicious fruit juice. I took Tropical Strom (Mango, Coconut milk, banana, Orange...etc). My father took Mango Magic. To know the recipe go to my daily albums (Darwin - my road bike - van)
We went to walk a bite along the streets for around 30 minutes. I was rested in the swimming pool before setting up my bike.
It was my first time that I set up all my bike from nothing. Have a look on my on my daily albums (Darwin - my road bike - van) to see the different stages.
We just came back now from our diner. I ate Pasta Carbonara but definitively forget about italian food in Darwin unfortunately. Here the speciality is more chicken with barbecue sauce or Beef with peppercorn.
Tomorrow I will get up at 5:00am and plan to start at 5:40 just before the sunrise. All my journey will be follow thank to my GPS bike. Once I will arrive you can see all my performance through a link.
To resume, I will leave from Darwin at 5:45 am to Hayes Creek. The distance between the two cities is 180kms. I will expect to arrive at 11-12am.
Good night and may the force be with me
After more than 1 hour I manage to set up my road bike. Thank for all your support. I have felt some good energies from you
