London to Auckland

Barrie was having a go at me the other day about my riders for the Ultimate Ride so I asked him if he knew who they are. Of course the answer was no because we haven’t formally announced them yet. That said, they have been on the team page for some time but in order to avoid further questions on the subject, I will now give you their details.

First there’s me….and then in no particular order:

Garry Learmonth, a late 40s Kiwi policeman who has seen action in peace keeping forces and is currently in the police search and rescue team.

Travis Donoghue, a mid 20s Kiwi adventurer who is currently a guide on the Milford Track.

Ivan Otulic, a late 20s Croatian who is a Seadoo mechanic, the World record holder for the longest PWC ride in a day at over 1,600km, and has represented Croatia in boxing and kick boxing.

Adrian Erangey, a late 30s Irishman who was the manager for the successful Earth Race campaign and a long time adventurer and PWC fan.

For more details see the team page at: http://london-sydney.com/team.htm

Of course no riding team would be complete without backups…..Jed Martin from Auckland, and training partners. For training partners I will be relying on the New Zealand based riders and, of course my faithful riding buddy, Barrie. Barrie has said he is keen for some rides and is just waiting for the call. He was last seen sitting in his car in his driveway, wearing a wetsuit and helmet, with Seadoo attached and car engine running and staring expectantly at his mobile phone. Don’t move Barrie, I’ll be calling you shortly! Can someone who lives near Barrie take him some food?

Until next time and don’t forget…’It’s never too late to donate’ http://london-sydney.com/donate-ultimateride.htm or http://london-sydney.com/donate-local.htm
