Phillip's 2018 Cairns to Cooktown ride for FNQHF

Phillip's 2018 Cairns to Cooktown ride for FNQHF

I am again riding in support of the FNQ Hospital Fund's Cardiac Challenge.

• The FNQHF folks have prepared this description of each day of the ride route (with video from 2017), and we even have a 2018 menu (scan down for Meals):
• Some highlights of the ride: tasty fruit (Mareeba), thirst quenching drinks (Mt Carbine), P&C committee and a Pony Club does fundraising meals and drinks at Lakeland, and a finale dinner at the Cooktown High School hall (indoors with real seats...);
• Bananas & muesli bars;
• Other highlights: Kuranda Range climb, Desailly Range climb, and the Byerstown Range (downhill)!

• The Pub Trivia Night is now organised as 6:30pm for 7pm Thursday July 26 at the Barron River Hotel, 35 Stratford Street, Stratford (map). It is a great night for families (and trivia nerds), and note that we play and dine next to the children play area. Click here for the flyer.
• The entry fee is $10 per person, all of which goes to the FNQHF Cardiac Challenge;
• Please phone 40551213 to book a team. Booking is not essential but it does give the venue an idea of numbers.
• And please form teams and brings your friends!

• Please click here to donate (https://goo.gl/rFrfUV). My supporters are entered into a "thank you" raffle for a good Australian wine (winners have been known to negotiate alternative prizes e.g. xmas cake rum). And the raffle process uses [nerd alert] arc4random_uniform() [end alert] which *BSD and macOS users might recognise in this C++ program.

• Remember that potential riders have until July 31 to register :-)

• Raffle Prize for Sponsors
  The prize is a Kellermeister Dry Grown Shiraz ...
  
  
  ... and it has been won by Michael Ridd. Thanks to everyone for supporting my ride this year.
