Tagging target: Melbourne University Oaktree

The Oaktree team at Melbourne Uni have helped us tag more bikes around Melbourne.

Still no news from Megan Gale.. but

Typical Melbourneian weather, designed to induce colds and flu anytime of the year in countless variations. First year exposed to it but have got off lightly so far. Riding from C-town to Oaktree Headquarters in Camberwell, was always going to be a struggle with it. However got there, thats what counts. Our Timorian crew got acquanted with our film star, Ling, who will be taking various footage from meetings, training runs, prep work and of course the ride itself. Shall make some for some hillarity in shooting of the crew and the clown of a leader, but more importantly and seriously will generate the awareness that our neighbour Timor needs. Also shoutout to some corporate sponsors, my grandma is elite sponsor right now, who we could get on board to expose them to media and filming for their input.

Seriously We need your support to make this event a true success. Send your contact's details this way we shall not harass them... much anyway. A few other ideas were whizzed of the factory production line and also our official website is up and running, will be added to more so, but is up and running. Sunday if you still manage to have full senses and your night was not of epic proportions get on over to the arts centre at 12 with your bikes or runners for tagging things, we will divide and some shall cruise off to the bay while others help create awareness. Any maddog schemes chaser style speak up and we shall consider. Still no news from Megan Gale, bit paranoid I have a hacker deleting my messages from her in my inbox. Will look into it.

Keep on Keeping on y'all. N Porter signing out

What you up to Ports?

Sunday 7:30pm: "What you up to Ports?" cageily says my room-mate being the smart arse he is. Just going to the local gay bar as make my way through the living room, donning full cycling attire that I realise does look a bit suss and will expose me to whatever Melbournian wea ther is present. Was Mothers Day so official run got cancelled, therefore this was the training.

The cold did bite, as I tried in vain to catch up on the bus law lecture on my ipod. But this was the oppotunity I needed for myself to contemplate the old deep and meaningful stuff after something you want to change so much, is going totally against you, I'm not talking of the I wonder how many years Richmond will take to win their next flag it is deep stuff. But cruising through amongst the night traffic was somewhat soothing minus cold I felt in other body parts than my face.

Will be interesting to see how camping out goes in the heart of winter, at least it does'nt snow. Therefore two words... Toughen up. Pulled up well from this routine 24km ride from C-town to Bayswater after back concerns past week. Looking forward to week of shenanigans from Hannah with her tagging concept, will stay tuned to see how that goes, as we really must strive for significant commercial sponsors, have faith something will present itself..

A message from Nick

Bondia/G’day everybody, welcome to the daily/weekly/monthly/whenever I have my writing cap on blog of Nick Porter as the world keeps revolving day by day by day until finally that day of July the 2^nd is realized, when myself and the crew embark on the Great Timorian Bike ride. The ride is a two day long adventure of sheer pain and display of will power, departing from Melbourne over the treacherous great divide where we will brave the frights of the night without the luxury of staying in the Seymour Hilton or receiving soothing calves massages from Megan Gale (can someone get in touch with her), before pressing on and ending the epic at my home of Wangaratta it will amass to around 250km, however with legalities it is likely to increase. It is a journey against cold, inexperience, resources, pain and time, but a journey that I hope can better my life as a result but more importantly better the life of a Timorese youth who would not do something like this for a challenge but to get by.

The objective of the ride is to affect this change in their lives, for hope in the future and opportunity. Through broadcasting our pledge, I hope we will be able to captivate the Australian and world community and of course Megan Gale in order to create awareness of the Timorese situation and furthermore change. So get on board as we cycle it from city and country where we can expect the unexpected.
