The keen cyclist said he had done no training so far, having been off the bike due to the wet weather – but was hopeful of clocking up the distance, which is the equivalent of riding from Mandurah to Joondalup.
“I haven’t done any training, nothing yet – but I’ve got to ride my goal in October so it will probably happen next weekend, depending on the fundraising. I need people to sponsor,” he said.
“I’d do anything to help, whether it be on a bike, whether it be a walk or anything, it doesn’t matter.”
