Adrian Emilsen Swims the Cole Classic
January 6, 2009
Adrian Emilsen, a PHD student at Macqurie University, will be swimming the Cole Classic in Sydney on Feb 1 and raising money for Bicycles For Humanity, Melbourne. You can sponsor him here http://www.everydayhero.com.au/adrian_emilsen.
” Its great to support Bicycles For Humanity. I wanted to support the organisation because I believe in the power of bicycles to transform peoples lives with sensible and affordable mobility. Cycling is something I’m fairly good at, swimming is not, so I expect it to be a real challenge for me.”
Adrian Emilsen

After some last minute bike mechanics, we gathered under the clock at Sydney’s Central Station before boarding the 11.15 train to Bombaderry several hours South and well away from the City’s fringe. With Melbourne as our destination and 800kms we set out without further delay. By the time we rode into Cunjurong Point that evening we were aching all over, unaccustomed to the hours in the saddle.
