It All started on a sunny December Thursday afternoon, over a couple of cold beers at our local, The Whitfords Brewing Co, Daniel suggesting to his good mate Cobey “Hey, I want to do a postie Bike Challenge, to raise funds for a charity”, let’s ride from Mundaring to Albany…Through the bush. Even without a bike at that stage, three words from Cobey “Count me in!”, and so the Mundal 1000 was born.

Less than a month later the bikes were bought and momentum began. In January Daniel, Cobey and the third team member to join – Andrew, along with support vehicle driver – Barry (Daniel’s Brother), took a trek in 4wd vehicles over 3 days from Mundaring to Albany through the bush to plot the course, for the inaugural event to take place in October 2023.
