The weather in Cairns is better for riding again!!!

Tuesday 23rd Apr 2024

Hi there,

Hope you are going good. The wet season has slowed down a bit up in Cairns and I have been getting out on the motorbike a bit more. 

I only got my motorcycle license 18 months ago as part of my getting older = need to learn new things to enhance brain plasticity etc (that's my excuse anyway).  It has been a rapid learning curve and I have found it to be a great activity to enhance mindfulness by engaging the moment.... and for socialising and meeting new people by going on group rides. 

I love riding the bike - if I've got 2 hours free on the weekend (when Lindy is studying)- I check the BOM radar and head off. Cruising along the coast up to Port Douglas or winding through the Wet Tropics rainforest on backroads is like a dream.

This year I am taking part in The Distinguished Gentleman's Ride to raise funds and awareness for men's health on behalf of Movember. I'll be getting dressed up in my most dapper attire and tootling along from Cairns to Kuranda and back on the 19th May 2024.

Men are typically hopeless at looking after their health, but Movember have encouraged men to get checked out for prostate cancer and seek help for depression.

If you had a spare dollar then you could consider supporting Movember and making a donation. 

No pressure from me - I mainly used this blog to give you an update on my motorcycling antics. 

Take care and have fun out there.

Will

I'm Riding for Men's Health in The Distinguished Gentleman's Ride

Wednesday 27th Mar 2024 On Sunday the 19th of May 2024, I'm riding in The Distinguished Gentleman's Ride with fellow men and women across the globe to raise funds and awareness for prostate cancer and men's mental health on behalf of Movember. Men die on average 6 years earlier than women and for largely preventable reasons. The number of men that are suffering is growing, and we need to do something about that. So, before I press my tweed and polish my boots, I'm asking you to join me in raising funds and awareness for these causes by donating what you can for this meaningful cause and to help the men we love, live happier and healthier lives.
