Yeah I always did in the past, however when I asked for support from the Aussie distributors for my fund raising bike ride, they were not interested so I went O/S. Any money I saved on the purchases means more I can hand over to the Cancer Council at the end. Cheers Linden Support the...

This is not a dig at anyone...:) There are a few reasons I choose to do the ride at this time of year. It is when I'm on leave form work. My job is to promote a healthy lifstyle/fitness, and sitting inside and hiding during summer is not conductive of that :) The heat itself does not...
