Dishpig had announced to everyone that because it was his plan to actually ride next year, he would need to get his hairy legs waxed and so was selling wax strips that could be used in the "big wax off". He has ended up with some patches of hair still remaining and some patches where he was waxed - a patchwork leg and got $110.00 for the children!
Poppy Pappy jumped on board and agreed to auction off the waxing of his chest for $500.00 which also took place. In my opinion the person who got the raw end of the deal was the lovable Stu P who lost ONE only eyebrow! He made $210.00 for the kids - talk about going above and beyond. I think an eyebrow is worth at least $2,000.00.
Well done Dishpig, Poppy Pappy and Stu P for providing the night's entertainment and embracing the spirit of the ride.

Brad has had to go back to work so the awesome Denis has arrived to take over driving the Arc back home and assist Norm.Thanks so much Denis.
B1 (Ashley) has taken off her Barista hat and put her Nurses Hat back on and jumped in the Medical Car with Doc Ally as Doc Roger is catching the train home to go to a wedding. Doc Rog has been so much fun on the ride and we have really enjoyed having him and his "dapper looking" outfits that he would pull out of the back of the Medical Car with Doc Ally to assist the Media Car with Fun Therapy.
Big John has jumped out of the Spare Car and into the Coffee Van to assist B2 (Lianne) and Massage Kristy has jumped into the Spare Car to help Dishpig by doing radio duties. Everyone is so flexible and willing to jump in an doing anything required.
The riders are on fire this morning. They were up for breakfast before it was cooked and on the road ready to go 10 minutes before they needed to. Both Cara and Blake are back on the road and riding today which is great to see. Everyone is so bonded and are guiding each other through the tough bits and embracing the fun bits along the way - it is incredible to see and an absolute privilege to be a part of such an amazing group of people.
We are now on our way to the Wingen Pub for the first lunch stop of the day. More blogging soon.
Donna. xx
Almost home crew! You have all done an awesome job!! I wonder if there will be any suprises for Nee this arvo?? Go the blue team!! xoxoxox
ReplyDeleteSorry we can't be there tonight Dan! We are very excited to see you tomorrow. Love Em and Ruby xx
ReplyDeleteAlmost there guys...Congratulations to you all ! What a wonderful achievement. A special shout out to my husband Wayne (Wacko). Once Wayne made the commitment to ride the 1000k's 4 kids he has certainly put in 200%. He has trained like crazy for the last 6 months to get fit enough tackle this wonderful challenge and enjoy ride.
ReplyDeleteTrying to juggle running a business, raising 4 kids and training at every opportunity has certainly been a challenge for him, BUT he did it !
Wayne, enjoy the final day of riding, and I hope when you cross that finish line tomorrow you are as proud of yourself as the kids & I are proud of you.
See you all at the finish line
