Day 4 - 24 hours of Adrenalin Finish

Crossing the finish line


Minutes before the finish

Tony crossed the finish line at 11.46am after his 14th lap. Tony finished in the top 50% in the 36th place. Tony rode hard and finished well. After collecting his race medallion we went straight back to the Hotel and slept. Tony woke as hungry as 10 men but has pulled up really well. He sore all over and is feeling the strain today but he is feeling better than expected.

Tony up on the screne.

Tony is driving back to Melbourne as I write this post up. We are approaching Gundigai and the car is going well. What a great experience. The people were were with and shared tents with were great sports. We shared a mechanic who was so great to have on board and made Tony's race far less stressful, knowing his bike was good to go each lap. Everyone helped each other which made the whole experience wonderful.

We both would like to thank everyone who supported Tony in this important race. The Facebook comments, emails, financial support and donated supplies, phone calls and even the people we didn't know placed around the track cheering the riders on made a big difference to the day and will be remembered well after the race is gone. Thank you so much.
Tired but in a possitive frame of mind in the early hours of the day

Please remember that Tony's initial inspiration was to race and represent people's fight with Cancer and to raise money to make a difference to the families who still or will battle this horrible fight. Livestrong donations are still open on Tony's donation page. Thank you in advance for any support no matter how small. It all makes a difference and hopefully brings us closer to a cure.
