Day 7 - Welcome to the 1,000km Club!

Batemans Bay – Nowra

Distance 120 odd clicks
---

Day 7 from Batemans Bay to Nowra (120 odd clicks) was another cracker for Team TDC.

After a massive 4 days (where many riders had ridden back-to-back personal bests for the past few days) we welcomed a bit of a sleep in and a late kick off.

Huge thanks to Charlotte and Bec who drove in from Sydney & Canberra respectively to provide much needed Osteopath support to the riders. Also joining us was Megan from Kensington Physiotherapy who will be dishing up the Physiotherapy - huge thanks again! (We actually have a selection of Deep Tissue Massage, Osteopath Treatment and two Physiotherapists to choose from - were in better hands than the Australian Olympic Team!).

Today’s riding was a bit of a mixed bag – some beautiful scenery mixed in with a bit of traffic and some rain – but overall another great days riding.

A highlight was being met at on the outskirts of Nowra by a bunch of Harley Davidson riders for a quick photo opp with the local press and an escort into and around town.

After arriving in Nowra some riders took the opportunity to do an additional 15km loop to knock up 1000km in a week – a huge achievement!

Tomorrow we have a gentle 85km to Woolongong and then onto Sydney!

Congratulations to today’s Jersey winners;
Pink - Breast Cancer Foundation - For Support - Mike Bolt
Blue - Prostate Cancer Foundation - For Guts - Brad Peake
Polka Dot - Focus - David Lo
Yellow - Camp Quality - For Attitude – Josh McBride (at last!)
