A good friend of mine back in Australia, Jack Sinclair, is CYCLING ACROSS AUSTRALIA!
Perth to Surfers Paradise – 4 500 km in 30 days. And he’s only 15 yrs old!
Jack’s training extremely hard. He’ll have to cover between 100 and 200km every day for a whole month, in extreme heat (40+ degrees C) across the unforgiving Australian desert.
All to raise money for ‘Big Brothers Big Sisters’, a charity that provides mentoring to vulnerable young people. What a legend!
Robbie McEwen (Aussie racing legend) is now their ride ambassador. Here’s what he has to say:

His dad is also riding with him – he’s the guy that made my site!
So get behind Jack!

i dont think i can ride a bike anymore. but then again they use the analogy of bike riding to describe situations where you will never forget such a skill. but clearly they didnt realise there was special kids like myself, that just cant quite remember something like that without continued practice. so if i was to ride a bike right now, would i be able to do it? in relation to the proverbial rubbish i should be able to, yes? would i make it to the gold coast from perth? no way.
so i wonder, what makes someone so good at this skill if anyone who learns it shouldnt really forget how to do it (excluding their fitness level, mental capaticty, determination and their peak arousal stage between performance and anxiety in relation to the ‘inverted u hypothesis’ of course).
its a repetitive discipline, that after the initial cognitive stage of development, followed by associated, one becomes autonomous. more interesting then that, riding a bike becomes an exception to rule of reversability in the principles of training. however the principles of training not only demonstrate a sound dynamic to enhance performance, they also reflect life, and mirrors one’s capacity of being such an exceptional and extraordinary human being.
so therefore, we can apply these laws to define aspects of life and thus, enhance actions as ‘homosapiens’, theoretically becoming better citizens.
but to re-‘cycle’ what was previously stated, if the principle of reversability does not become defined in the basic and idyllic skill of riding a bike, then does this mean that it may illustrate its lack of presence in human life and existence? if one such skill can be achieved and never forgotten in parallel to the principles of training and simultaneously, human actions, then why cant most skills acquired be reiterated and maintained throughout ones journey in life at such perfection that was first achieved at the autonomous stage of development?
