it has been a long road to get here with many road bumps along the way. training, surgery and work all take time when preparing for such a journey.
well, last week on aug18 we began took off...
the best beginning to share is the fact that we were upgraded to first class on our long 16hr flight over to Oz. seriously, we got on the plane and the three of us had our very own pod to call home for the time in the air. I have taken many plane rides and because of my size, getting comfortable is very difficult. we experienced 3 course meals and snacks between sleeping for over 11hrs...what if you could stretch out completely and watch a movie while drinking red wine and eating cheese...
once we arrived in sidney, we jumped on our connection to took off to cairns. matt, curtis and I were met by our 3 new ozzy friends (cam, mick and nelson) these guys are amazing and right from the start we knew we were in for a treat.
the first night was a night to get to know each other and lets just say that it was one to remember with us ripping up the night life in cairns and really getting down to business!
we actually time travelled to get here and we are still asking ourselves what time it is and what date it is at home..
be sure to check the innovative fitness facebook page for our daily updates, pictures and videos.
I would like to share a couple keys points..
-if you plan for something, anything is possible
-if you have the right people in place, even the hardest tasks are achievable and even fun
-if you stay positive, nothing can stand in your way
we are half way around the world doing something that nobody has ever tried...riding from cairns to melbourne in 8days with 5riders in hopes to raise awareness and funds for juvenile diabetes...we are surrounded by some of the most generous people we have ever met and having a ball...it's only the 4day of riding and this is shaping up to be high up on our list of best trips of all times...quite frankly, there's nothing stopping it from getting to number one.
really, it always comes back to team
ps - another special thanks to all those who made this possible from me to experience the best trip/ adventure/ journey/ road trip/ rv life/ ride of my life
best, richard
