Our intrepid tandem cycle adventurers Ann and Ross Pearson were in
Brisbane recently, so we took the opportunity to catch up with
them. Our Office Manager Matthew visited them at their lodgings
on Friday 30th April. President Ian caught up with them at a BBQ
lunch courtesy of The Northside Younger Stroke Survivors Support
Group at the Roma Street Parklands.
They are such a fit and energetic young couple. They are travelling
all on their own with no support vehicle. Ross deals with his deficits
in a very positive way. If they are coming through your area don’t
miss an opportunity to meet them. The slogan that is spelled out in
big letters on the side of their tandem bike and laden tiny trailer
is “ABLE TO RIDE”, which just about sums it up. At the
end of their two year, many thousand kilometer adventure they will
probably have seen more of Australia and its’ people than anyone
else in our history. Their epic journey will surely belong in the pages
of the Guiness Book of Records.
You can read and see photos of all of it in their diary on

You can also get their revised, fatter itinerary from their website
