In 2012 seven mates tackled one of West Australia’s most challenging routes – the Gibb River Road.
I’m a beef and sheep farmer at a place called Woolsthorpe, about 30km north of Warrnambool in Victoria.
At my 20-year school reunion many years ago, sitting next to Dirk, we hatched a plan to go riding road bikes up into the mountains for four days every October. We agreed we’d head to Mt Hotham and the Kosciusko area, and that trip still happens every year.
