"On a personal note, I would like to say a huge thank you to each and every one of you. I feel that this trip has made me realise what is possible with a little determination and a lot of support (and training). Not only was this a personal challenge for me but a brilliant opportunity to give back... which for me was (and still is) the most important thing. The friends I have made is the highlight of the trip and I can't wait to see you all again to throw you a knowing look of "we did this amazing thing together and we will never forget that."

"Time waits for no man but the memories last forever and what memories. There were times before my arrival in Sri Lanka that I doubted my sanity, how did I a grey haired old man allow himself to be talked into such insanity, but I'm so pleased that I did. It was a marvellous experience, the country, the people and above all the sense of achievement, not just at the end of the trip but every day we rode. I'm hugely grateful for the opportunity to share all those experiences (the blood, sweat and tears) with a great bunch of people. I have had a lot of different experiences in my life and if I'm honest I suppose I believed the really good times were over, Sri Lanka proved that not to be true. Many thanks for your help and companionship".

"Cycling Vietnam while helping children, it gave me so much on a personal level. My expectations were more than fulfilled. I had an experience that I will always remember and I would not hesitate to do it again."

Dave 22, Self Employed

"All my expectations were surpassed. What I hadn't counted on was the incredible sense of camaraderie of achievement and of the physical and mental improvement that I feel now as a result of completing the challenge."

"As one who participated in the 2005 Vietnam trip, I made the comment that if Sri Lanka 2006 was half as good, it would be the 2nd best thing I'd ever done.

I'd simply like to say, that the Vietnam & Sri Lanka Cycle Challenges, are the two best things I've ever done.

"As one of the Viets, I know that you're about to depart for one of the great experiences of your life, which will bring lasting memories. The friendly people and the cultures you'll encounter along the way, the incomparable scenery you'll cycle through, the support you'll receive (as I needed!) from your fellow cyclists, the fun you'll have with them and the knowledge that the funds you're raising will help save children's lives will all combine to create a wonderfully unique experience for you.

Roscoe will prove to be an inspirational leader, his stories and anecdotes helping you to dig deep when you really need it. At the end of each day's cycling, you'll have great times with your fellow adventurers - bonds will be formed which will stay with you even though most of you will disperse and go your separate ways after returning to Oz.

Grasp the adventure, live it to the full along the way and celebrate your achievement when you all cycle through the finish line together!"

"Having not cycled since my teenage years I was more than a little concerned. But I was given a training program and was quite surprised at how easy it was to stick to. Though the cycling on the trip was challenging I was able to complete every stage, which is so self gratifying. The fundraising was easy because it is such a good cause. The entire journey was exceptional and I have taken so many positive things out of it."
