Cyclist wanted for the Busselton Ironman in December

Julie Cammell has been a member of the Ride_Group for quite awhile (although she hasn't ridden with us recently and we miss her!!). Julie has asked us to put the following note on the blog...

I was part of a team to do the Busselton Ironman on December 5th this year but have had to withdraw thanks to some knee problems which require me not to run/ride/swim for a couple of months. I'm looking for a reliable replacement - our team intention is to finish, not to break records so anyone capable of 180km in under the 8 hour time limit is welcome! Having said that our swimmer is very talented and will probably give you a great head start going into the cycle.

We need someone available to come to Busselton on Thursday 3rd December as attendance at registration is compulsory for all team members. The race is on the Saturday. I'm willing to cover the entry fee cost ($200+) and we have a house booked to stay at as well if you are interested in chipping in. Check out http://www.ironmanwa.com/ironmanwa/index.htm for details and let me know ASAP if you are interested - juliecammell@yahoo.com.au We're currently in a mixed category but think we can change to mens if we get a male cyclist.

UPDATE: Julie tells us she now found a cyclist for their team.
