B1 and B2 had the coffee machine up and running, Brad and Clive were on he BBQ and the support crew gang were busy organising toast and cereals, washing up and generally making sure everything was ready to go.
Today is a special day. Today is "Harry's Day" - a day that we officially recognise and celebrate every year on every ride. Four years ago on our second Bike Ride, Dean Dunn was with us as a rider when he got a call from Sarah to say their son Harry had been involved in a bus accident. Brad drove Dean home from Glen Innes to be with his family but unfortunately Harry passed away. It was such a tragic loss for the Dunn Family and for all our riders and support crew it really hit hard.
From that day onwards the green team became "Team Harry" and each year on Harry's anniversary Sarah and Dean ride with us and we have a "Harry Day". Harry's favourite colour was green and his favourite food was pies. So today all riders are wearing green ribbons and when they get in for lunch today we will celebrate Harry with his family by having a feast of pies (savory and sweet) for lunch.
The Dunn Family are much loved members of the CQ Family and we feel honoued to share this day with them.
The riders are on the road now, being led our by Team Harry and heading to Sandy Hollow for their first stop for the day. Then they are off to Muswellbrook for a lunch stop. Stay tuned for more blog updates later.
Donna.
