Wow, what a great day!
Tony and I rode down to Parramatta Park from our respective homes to get a photo with Glenn Gardner, the CEO of Northcott, for the Parramatta Advertiser this morning. Just before I left, I got a phone call from Wayne Rhodes, the Metropolitan General Manager, Sydney North-West Region, Telstra Consumer & Marketing, to say that Telstra had responded to my flier about supporting Northcott to the tune of $1090 - yee haaa! With other monies that Tony has picked up, we're now well on the way to our combined total of $10,000.
After the photo op, Tony and I rode down to one of our favourite restaurants, Port Bar at the Charles Street wharf, for a very healthy salad and mineral water lunch before we headed off in different directions on the way home. I went out to Rosehill and back along James Ruse Drive, dreading a couple of the hills I had to face, but with the practice, greater familiarisation with the bike's gearing and a determination not to be called the "Bus Conductor" when we get to Vietnam, I got up hills I hadn't before and got further up the hills I'm still yet to conquer.
Tony and I will do the Bay to Bay run again tomorrow (we like that ride) and I'm hoping to get a ride on Sunday with one of Katie's riding groups. All in all, a great day!
