ABOUT US &
THE RIDE

Hey There! We’re Michael and Josh Gordon, a father and son team gearing up for the ride of our lives (literally).

We’re not professional athletes by any stretch, in fact, we’re somewhere between ‘enthusiastic weekend riders’ and ‘definitely feeling the burn after 10km.’

But for us, this 1,700km journey from the Gold Coast to Melbourne means so much more than cycling; it’s about riding for Dan, our son and brother, and standing up to brain cancer in the most active way we know.

Sure, we’re both well past the age where running to catch the bus counts as cardio, we’re somewhere comfortably over 40 but thankfully under 70 (we like to think of this as ‘prime time’ for a challenge). Training is a mix of ‘pushing ourselves’ and ‘trying not to pull a muscle,’ with a lot of coffee and good laughs along the way.

Why are we doing this? Because while this ride will be the hardest physical thing we’ve done, it’s still nothing compared to what Dan has faced week after week, month after month, over the past two years. Endless hospital visits, gruelling treatments, and battles most of us can barely imagine. This ride is our way of showing support, raising funds, and making a stand - because Dan and so many others deserve better.

We’ll be sharing our training highs, lows, and everything in between right here on the blog. It won’t always be pretty, but it will be real.

Thanks for riding alongside us - even if it’s just in spirit.
