Both in need of REPAIRS!!!!
David and the bike are struggling.
David found his current surroundings at the Caravan Park he was staying in a little depressing. He couldn't pinpoint exactly why except there wasn't much trees surrounding it and it just didn't feel good to stay there. On Sunday morning of the 4th Jan, he went looking around for another place to stay. He came across the Tandara Caravan Park. The husband and wife team were very generous. They really connected with David's passion for cycling4africa and gave him an area with his own toilet facilities. These people really admired what David stood for. They said "Some people talk and do nothing, but you did something about it".
Later on, David started his cycle to keep his appointment with the Morely church community. Unfortunately he never got there. His bike suffered a puncture for the second time. He not only suffered a puncture, but upon inspection found that his back rim was cracked. He spent 3/4 of the day doing maintenance on the bike. At one stage he needed some kerosine to clean the chain and couldn't find any. A gentleman by the name of Max came to his rescue, he offered him a bucket kero with a paintbrush in tow. How is that for generosity?
On Monday 5th Jan, God provided David with some more blessings. He found a bike shop called Mallard Cycles who donated part of the tyre for the back wheel. Also the Newspower Newsagency in Morwell donated some credit for his phone for the second time. They had donated a phone card to David on his way to Canberra. God is good.
Lets hope David will be in better condition than his bike when he gets home!
David has said to me "he likes to roll with the wheels, not the punches".
