BIKE for BIBLES - DUBBO

Riders came from Macksville, Armidale, Sydney and Central Coast

Our daughter Deb and her #1 son Logan on Old Dubbo Rd.

Peter Halyburton from Energy and Management Systems

Logan Jack was the youngest in the team. Nearly 2.
Nine riders, two very important support personnel and two kids under 2 comprised the Bike for Bibles team. It was the DUBBO COFFEE SHOP EASY RIDE. A lot of fun as we raised money for Wontulp-Bi-Buya College near Cairns. This college equips Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders to reach out to their communities with God's word using local forms of communication and language. We've also managed to get to quite a number of coffee shops during the week. Daily rides have been between 40 km and 90 km. I've personally raised in excess of $1700 for this cause. Peter Halyburton (above) was one of my major sponsors. Thanks Pete. He now lives in Newcastle.

FAMILY

They say a picture tells a thousand words. Well, here's our daughter Deb and her little bundle of energy, Logan Jack McLaughlin. He is one cool dude that's for sure! They (and proud dad Brendan) live in Sydney - 400 km away, so we don't get to see too much of him. No doubt when he gets a bit older he'll come visit to check out the famous Western Plains Zoo here in Dubbo. (Check it out!) He's nearly 8 months old.
