Bike Event - Around The Bay 2024

This is a video showing part of the event I did on 6th Nov 2024. This is part of the United Energy Around the Bay supported by the Bicycle Network in Victoria, Australia.

The ride is the iconic Around the Bay route. Cover both the east and west as you ride 220km around the entire Port Phillip Bay coastline, travelling through the Bellarine Peninsula, Queenscliff, Sorrento and the Mornington Peninsula.

I did section from Werribee to Queensclifff, covering a distance of 83.5Km (52M) of the total Classic Route was 230Km or 171M. (See https://www.strava.com/routes/3072670847301772444)

This was my first event so I was very happy completing the ride!

This video is a portion of the ride time of 4hr 19min video (1hr 30min video not filmed as the camera run out of battery power. Total movement was 5hr 57min total which was elapsed time of 7hr 27min i.e. I had 1hr 30min rest on the route. I used the e-assist motor on this ride, the last 2.5km after 81km distance was a good test of my body riding unassisted!

This video is to show those recovering from stroke injury that there is a positive future and to strive for your dreams!

Currently I have a few items on my do-list:

1. Great Vic Bike Ride 9 day tour in Nov 2024 (https://bicyclenetwork.com.au/rides-and-events/great-victorian-bike-ride/?utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=Bicycle-Network-Sales---All---210323-&utm_content=Great+Vic+Bike+Ride&utm_source=comms.bicyclenetwork.com.au) I am booked on.

2. Visit Japan to tour with my recumbent bike and walk up Mount Fuji and see a sun rise.

3. Visit China and see and walk the Great Wall (Juyong Pass) and walk up the very high steps). I need to strengthen my right leg to handle very high steps.

Six years ago I was in hospital after suffering a stroke. This was a difficult time as I was wondering what will happen in the future. I now know that the bright future.

I know that it is in our own hands, so don’t give up and craft a better world!

With good support from your family, friends and professional assistance, you can achieve a good life!

Remember, if you think you will succeed your correct, if you think you will fail, you will probably fail too!

I will do a video of the equipment and things that work well over 3 years I worked on this project that may assist others.
