I traveled in December, January and February with the help of many
wonderful people. My wife, Belinda stayed home in the US to help care for her
mother and step father, so I really needed the support of others. Without their
help I wouldn't have been able to come to Australia and fly in the 2014
Australian Nationals/Forbes Flatlands. Here's the list:

Vicki Cain: I stayed with her and Greg for a few days at their house when I
first got to Australia. She also appointed me as the unofficial assistant meet
director and weatherman for the Forbes Flatlands, and among much else provided a
place to stay with good folks (Bruce, Alan, and Bobby) in Forbes. Thanks to Alan
and Bruce for help with the bike.

Jonny Durand, Jnr.: He brought me on as the Official Observer for his World
Record attempts, which made it so I could come to Australia. Shuttled my gear
and bike to Eucla and back to Sydney (1000's of kilometers).

Steve Blenkinsop: Got me another place to stay in Forbes for a couple of days.
He shuttled me to the Victorian Alps and rode with me over the mountains then
shuttled me to Port Elliot so that I could continue push bike riding south of
Adelaide (the first day with him). I also stayed at his house in Adelaide after
riding until heading to Eucla. A great riding companion around Adelaide and to
the Tour Down Under also.

Scott and Virpi Barrett: They let me stay at their house over Christmas and
before I headed back to the US. I store my Australian bicycle there. Scott took
me mountain biking (on his best bike) through the Wallarah National Park.

Curt and Louise Warren: I had a lovely stay at their home with their kids Wiley
and Gala and got to fly Curt's Moyes Malibu.

Phil Shroder: Steve and I got to stay at his house in Beechmont before the three
of us tackled the ride up to Falls Creek.

Paul Kelley: Long time Oz Report reader. Stayed with him when riding on the
Fleurieu peninsula.

Cameron Tunbridge : He gave Paris and I a ride to Forbes.

Hadewych Van Kempen: She gave Paris and I a ride from Newcastle to Cameron's
house.

Michelle Taylor and Judy Durand: Retrieving me from the outback north of Eucla
when I took out a tire and a tube.
