When first asked to join this ride Nick’s response was “no way, that’s a crazy thing to do”. After much thought and deliberation (and a lot of encouragement), Nick has signed up to take on the challenge. Joined by Bob, another teacher from McIntyre High School, they carry the flag for Inverell.
Nick has been a keen cyclist for many years, albeit with the bike mostly in the shed. This ride has inspired him to get it out in readiness to take on this challenge, his first with the Westpac crew. He is looking forward to this unique adventure and the opportunities it provides. When asked what inspired him most about this journey he replied, “I’m excited by the thought of crossing the state slowly, experiencing the people and places along the way. Let’s hope that it is not too slow for the guy who is more at home on a bike with horse power and not pedal power.
Encouraged by family and friends, this adventure is the latest in a long line of travels for this former Novocastrian. Having toured much of the country on horse back, motor bike, 4WD and on foot, the prospect of a cycling adventure is the first with community focus. “It is a privilege to help raise funds for such a worthwhile service, whilst helping to raise its profile to the wider community.
Nick wishes to thank those who have supported him, and looks forward to joining all the riders as they embark on achieving the outcomes of raising funds for the Westpac Rescue Helicopter Service.
