A Magic Carpet Ride
Are we there yet?
At the end of the week I've only logged 3 rides and 87 kms for my Ride for Autism. That leaves a bit of work to do this weekend. Just gorgeous out there this evening.A Shaky Start
We're off to a fairly shaky start on the Ride for Autism Challenge. Both Dale and I have been a little under the weather this past week; Dale is still too crook to ride. At least our covid tests were negative. The first day was a right-off due to the foul weather. I managed to squeeze in a lunchtime ride today, but 22 kilometres on soggy farm roads with a head wind felt like 50! On the bright side, I only have 178 km to go.I'm riding for....
I’m riding for autism to help create a world where no-one on the autism spectrum is left behind.
I've set my challenge and I'll be riding from Sunday 4 - 11 July while raising much needed funds to support people on the autism spectrum.
An estimated 1 in every 70 people is on the spectrum. Along with their family members, this means autism is a part of daily life for over a million Australians.
People on the spectrum see, hear, feel and experience the world differently. For many, simply coping with the everyday can lead to confusion, anxiety and isolation.
By coming together and taking action, we can help provide opportunities for people on the autism spectrum to participate, engage and thrive in the world around them.
Help make my ride count and show your support by donating today!

Good on you Darren. Cycle Touring is a joy no matter how short or long the trip,but soggy, dusty, rutted roads are a toil and challenge that you will overcome . But, for somone with Autism their everday may have small moments of respite but often confusion, anxiety and sometimes life might feel like the old dirt track rather than the sealed downhill road. Good on you for taking on the challenge!

Darren, you are a glutton for punishment, even though it’s always for a good cause!
With you in spirit if I can’t be there in person…
