Coughing from Sydney to Melbourne

Plans are under-way to ride a traditional (but modern!) Dutch Sparta bicycle from Sydney to Melbourne. Current dates are 24 October to 17 November. Now I need to see if I can pimp my ride to go the distance and shape up! Will need some front and rear panniers to begin with, and a little tent would be good too! Not sure how we will finance this trip, at least it is in Australia. If anyone knows of anyone interested in giving a helping hand let me know: sponsor4me@coughing4cf.com.
