G'day Pearcey!
Yes mate. Thanks for asking. I'm up to 65km for my long ride at the weekend now and I'm doing (or trying to at least) 2 or 3 shorter 25-30km rides during the week to build some more speed.
I've raised $750 so far (only been going at it 1 month) and need to raise a minimum of $2500 to ride.
I was going to post my fundraiser on here a couple of weeks ago but Macca is doing his Worlds Greatest Shave for the Leukaemia Foundation (who have given me heaps of support over the last 2 years) so I didn't want to impinge on his ability to raise money for that.
I'll post up my ride once the shave is done.
Cheers,
Drew

And Mark, I'm not a fan of Lycra mate. Only on the bottom half as it's not possible to ride those distances without it (and still be able to walk).

DSC00049_2.JPGMy son did the Bupa ride which was the 155k stage from Unley to Victor Harbor, which raises money for med research.
He set a goal of 5 hours and did it in 5 hours 1 min. average 30.9 Kph There was close to 7000 riders but not all did the 155 k

Good one! Nice wheels too. I'm averaging about 25km/h now for the shorter rides (up from 18-19km/h a month or so ago) but closer to 20 for the longer ride. That's ok, if I can get the 100km done each day at around the 4hr mark or below I'll be pretty happy. But really, I'll just be pleased to have finished!

Getting fitter by the day thats great. The wheels are full carbon fiber even the spokes and run ceramic bearings, also blxxdy expensive. While in training I hope you are observing all the rules IE no grog LOL. Best of luck with the training and fund raiseing
