That's What I'm Talking About!

After another solid day on the bike, Brad cruised into Ceduna Foreshore Caravan Park. To those who have stayed at the park you'll know how beautiful it is to have an overnighter here. Our touring apprentice photographer (Ken), took some spectacular photos of the sunset.The usual rituals take place in setting up camp, quickly followed by a long shower and Mum's on a Mission get in to action in the laundry!

On arrival at a camp site Brad is quick into his stretching regime followed by a massage and then relishes the opportunity to stand for an indefinite period of time under a hot shower. Yesterday was no different except whilst trying to reload on his carbs, Ken received a phone call and passed the phone onto Brad telling him it was 'Shane someone!' 'Shane' someone happened to be the legendary Shane Crawford. Whilst initially surprised and again with cameras in his face, Brad settled in to having an amazing conversation with Crawf that would easily have lasted 20 minutes. Obviously Crawf and Brad share an experience that few ever will. Butt soreness was certainly discussed plus useful tips for Brad as he continues on his journey. Shane Crawford, thank you so much for taking the time out to call Brad and make him realise what an amazing thing he is doing. One champion saluting another is very special.

Ceduna Foreshore Caravan Park will obviously hold lasting memories for the MOAM team. Several people gave generously to the ride and were full of enthusiasm for what is being achieved. During the afternoon I received a photo from Anne Foster's Class of year 7's at West Leeming Primary. The class had been photographed holding up the letters to make a sign which read 'Mates on A Mission Go Brad.' S3 your ongoing support of a Mates on a Mission is greatly appreciated by the team and one we will never forget.

Whilst riding out of Ceduna this morning I'm sure the boys are more than happy to have added the Crawf to their list of celebs met on this amazing mission. We wonder who the next one may be!

Wednesday is always considered 'Over the hump day,' and Brad certainly climbed over a number of these today. Conditions continue to be a warm 25C, however strong cross winds have prevailed for most of the day. Thunderstorms have been forecast but fortunately our CEO's have kept them at bay.

Tomorrow is sure to be a big day for Brad.....he turns 24!!! I doubt many guys celebrate their birthday riding from Nundroo to the Nullarbor Roadhouse! We're hoping it will be a day when many people may choose to get right behind this cause and make a donation.

Only one decision to make here!
