Dead set , one of my favourite riders on the tour , terrific guy . Helped me build up on the last day for a big finish . He has Bakers Delight stores in Melbourne and next time I'm milling that product , I will take extra care .
Must mention Kimbo and his truck again . It was the nerve centre of the operation and Kimbo didn't miss a beat .
Norm couldn't ride a bike before this ride . He can now though . Showed plenty of courage on his mountain bike . Tremendous bloke .
This bloke is inspiring . If he isn't running his Accountancy practice , he is taking junior rugby teams to New Zealand . How he finds the time to paint Coolah red is beyond me .
Plenty of courage here . Problems with his gears . Don't worry Joe still completes the ride .
Jim and Christine lit up the ride with their Scottish accents and humanitarium instincts .
Commentary is superflous . The picture tells the story !
Shannon Madden took this shot . Check out his gallery .
The women on the ride showed exceptional grit . Sarah , Muffy and Mel were awesome . They've only been riding for a short time . It certainly didn't show .
Here we go folks . The Mill2Mill lifts off , enjoy the photos
After all that work and preparation , the day has arrived and John is looking remarkably calm . In fact he looks fearsomely fit . His jersey is on the line and there are dozens of riders ready to take it off him .
Doug the Manager of Namoi Flour Mill watches proceedings while one of his employees takes the mickey out of the whole affair .
This bloke rode 388 km the previous day . That is mind blowing . He then proceeded to blitz the field on the first day . Superb stuff . The man is a freak .
Well now we get to know who Barry is . A gun rider plus also Sales Manager for Manildra . Good bloke too .
In the background Paddy Gibson chats to Josh Hazelhurst a NSW fast bowler who officially started the ride .
This school put on a great spread . Great food and atmosphere .
These kids put on an amazing performance that had everyone on their feet .
This part of the ride , supporting the schools really brought out the best in everyone . Rivalries were put aside to appreciate the schools on the way .
Dan AKA The Blunderbuss because he is a gun rider . Also Dan was one of the sponsors of the Mill2Mill .
Muldoon has just been picked up from the side of the road . First thing he does is drag us into the nearest pub . He has barely cycled a kilometre !
Jim Farr has massive tyre blow out . Vince from Ballina shows his skill gluing a five dollar note to the tube to get Jim home . Excellent work .
