Murray to Moyne
Kelly Cycle Coaching athletes, Aaron Eynaud, Harry Bade and Ollie LeGrice, pedaled 540km from Swan Hill to Port Fairy with their track team sponsor, CharterMason.
The cross headwinds challenged the group of 12 riders, which also included coaches Bob and Helen Kelly.
The team set off at 9.30am from Swan Hill and rolled into Hamiliton at 11.30pm Saturday night, with 450km completed. CharterMason partner, Sandra Salvitti, not only doubled the distance she’d ever ridden, but also supplied the appetite hungry crew with delicious meals, whipped up in the comfy campervans, CharterMason hired.
The following morning was a leisurely 90km into Port Fairy. The team arrived with an enthusiastic final sprint from Ollie, Harry and Aaron. In fact, every town along the way had an intermediate sprint spot, with final results yet to be determined by the judges. The sprint into Hamilton where there were no street lights, and only helmet and bike lights was an eventful spectacle, to say the least. Boys will be boys!!!
Overall, the team did a fantastic job. Many thanks to Leigh, Peter, Stuart and Sandra, our CharterMason track cycling sponsors for this amazing experience.
