Paceline Update Day 1
The Paceliners are on the road and going strong in the 2011 Ride to Cure Cardiac Arrhythmias. Yesterday’s leg from Canberra to Jindabyne was the longest of the entire ride at 180km, but they made good time, and despite having left a little late after forgetting to collect their lunches, managed to be at the Strzelecki Memorial Statue for their 4pm interview read more…

The Paceliners are still going strong. Day two saw them making their way from Jindabyne to Corryong. A distance of about 140km that also saw them tackling Thredbo and Kosciuszko in one day.
A few people at home were a bit concerned when they all seemed to come to a sudden halt at about 42km out of Jindabyne, but we’d just lost the signal and they were all still riding up…up…up read more…
Paceline Update Day 3

Paceline Update Day 7
Day 7 from Mansfield to Healesville was always going to be a big day, approx 170km, including Mount Terrible and The Black Spur. Just the names are enough to instill fear in the heart of the most intrepid Paceliner. However, they were all up, fed and raring to go by7am…read More
The Finale: Day 8
At 12:30 they made the long awaited entry into the Beaumaris Concourse and through the Paceline Arch…and not even the now pouring rain could dampen the spirits of this wonderful group of people who had all completed a ride amongst rides…an EPIC ride called Paceline 2011.
