Well Sydney to the Gong came and went with Exsight crews unable to make it. But we were well represented by Niki and Kiri who borrowed one of our bikes and kit to make Exsight’s presence noticed. Here is what Niki had to say:
Good evening,
My name is Niki, and I recently had the pleasure of meeting Geoff after my friend Kiri approached him with a slightly crazy idea. We’d decided to take on the Sydney to Wollongong MS Gong Ride, but apparently 80 kilometres wasn’t enough of a challenge—we wanted to do it on a tandem!
That’s where Geoff came in. We reached out through your organisation and, after a meet and greet to make sure we weren’t too dodgy, he generously offered to loan us a bike for the event. The cheeky bu**er did let slip that he hadn’t run it past the committee, so hopefully this thank you doesn’t land him in too much trouble!
Thanks to Geoff’s generosity, we took on the ride last Sunday with double the pedal power, plenty of laughs and absolutely nowhere to hide on the hills. Sharing a bike made the whole experience even more memorable, all while supporting such a worthwhile cause.
Geoff, thank you for trusting us with the bike and helping turn our crazy idea into a day we’ll never forget. Your kindness meant so much to both of us.
We’ve included a couple of photos of the tandem in action. Those smiles say it all!
Niki and Kiri
