30 weeks to go.

We have managed to get our first ever Cycle Across Oz Newsletter out to the cyclists on our email lists. Mark has finished the website and the newsletter has been added to the website also.
We hope to put out newsletters every few months leading up to the ride and to continue the Newsletter while we are on the ride if possible.
Collis wants to do profiles of some of the riders, he can organise this.

The rider's booklets have been completed and emailed out to those riders that have confirmed their places on stages 1, 2 & 3. Stage 4 & 5 will be emailed out shortly.

80% of the accommodation places have been booked and just need confirming closer to the date with numbers. Accommodation lists for the riders are nearly complete.

Stage 1 has 13 riders confirmed, Stage 2 has 14 riders, Stage 3 has 15 riders confirmed. Stages 4 & 5 are a little slower in filling but they do have 10 riders each.

We have sent out brochures to some of our past riders to hand out at their cycling clubs and any friends that may be interested.

Rob made this cover for Collis' famous road sign. Made out of a towel found on the side of the road.

This year we are looking at some new road signs and maybe a new sign for the truck. Anything to make us more visible and safe out there on the road.
