David finally arrived at Federation Square around 12.00 am. Today the 7th Jan. He looked tanned, trim and terrific. He was glad the cracked rim didn't decide to crack it!
Upon his arrival, a family of cyclists (Richard, Jackie, Katie, David and Andrew) decided to join us for the photoshoot with Deputy Lord Mayor Susan Riley, and her secretary June. They were most impressed with David's achievements and the Deputy Lord Mayor encouraged David to continue with his pursuit for the cause the cycling4africa has promoted.
Before heading for home though, David had one more ride in mind, a quick trip to ABC Melbourne Radio to organise an interview in the near future.
David then continued on his journey home. No, he didn't take the train, as I did, he continued to cycle to the Salvation Army Church in Altona. The Hobson's Bay Mayor, Peter Hemphill, the journo and photographers for 'The Star' and 'The Laverton - Altona Mail' local papers, family, his church family and friends were going to be waiting for him. This inspired some much-needed motivation as his weary body continued on with his journey.
David arrived at 3minutes to 3.00pm at the Altona Salvation Army Church. Mayor Peter Hemphill was the first person to welcome his return. After excusing himself to the Mayor for a moment, he acknowledged everyone's presence with either a hug or a handshake. It was very moving.
David then continued his talk with the Mayor of Hobson's Bay, thanked him for his support and private donation, and discussed his passion and future plans. He was very sup
portive of David's plans and wished him well.
The local paper 'The Star' journo, Kate, did an interview with David and the photographer took some shots. Darren from 'The Laverton - Altona Mail' also made time to take some photos and speak with David.
After a short chat with his family, church family and friends David had one desire, to reach home safe and have a shower. He will be sleeping in La La land tonight.
