The Lifecycle challenge team completed their 1,900-kilometre bike ride from Brisbane to Melbourne yesterday.

The Maltese cyclists made the fairly hilly 177km ride from Mansfield early in the morning, to complete the 2012 Betfair LifeCycle Challenge in Australia at about 7.30am Malta time.

They were welcomed in Melbourne’s Federal Square by the back-up team, relatives and friends. The cyclists will return to Malta on Friday at 1.20pm.

They were raising funds for the Mater Dei Hospital Renal Unit. Donations can be made via SMS on 5061 7370 (€2.33); 5061 8920 (€6.99) and 5061 9229 (€11.65) or via telephone lines 5160 2020 (€10); 5170 2005 (€15) or 5180 2006 (€25).
