Gulf to Gulf: June 2010

The Gulf to Gulf Mission

We’re riding Gulf to Gulf to help bridge the poverty gulf among the poor children of Bangladesh. Won't you ride with us from the comfort of your computer and consider making a donation? We're riding from the Gulf of Carpentaria to the Spencer Gulf , via the Birdsville Track. Check out the route map at the bottom of the page.

We want to raise $10,000 to fund the education (up to Year 2) for 1 year for 600 children in Bangladesh, who otherwise will miss out on a basic education. Read the donation page for all the details -- we would really appreciate your support. This project is administered by TEAR Australia in association with Symbiosis International.

The test ride: Back in the saddle

We had our test earlier this month to make sure we remembered how to sit on a bike without falling off (it's been a few years). All went well, as we are still alive. But we'd forgotten about numb bum and finger lock. Ouch. These are the bikes we'll be using for the ride: Suzuki DR650s prepared by Gary at Wombat Motorcycles.
