How it all began.....
It all started on a sunny Thursday arvo in December 2022, over a few cold beers at our beloved local, Whitfords Brewing Co.
Daniel turned to his mate Cobey and said something along the lines of, “I want to do a Postie Bike challenge to raise money for charity. Let’s ride from Mundaring to Albany… through the bush.”
Now, most people would pause, ask a few questions, Cobey? He didn’t flinch. “Count me in!” he said—despite not owning a bike, or having any idea what they were in for. And just like that, the MundAl1000 was born.
Within weeks the pair approached Barry, Daniels brother to sign on as the support driver who obliged without hesitation, bought their first Postie Bikes, and rounded up a few more brave souls to come on board.
That first ride raised $26,319 for the Kids Cancer Support Group, proving that with enough enthusiasm small ideas can turn into great ones. With such a success the MundAl1000 has now become an annual event.
