Growing up, John followed many interests of his elder brother. One of these interests was cycling and quickly John became a cycling enthusiast and competed in national championships in both Cross-Country and Downhill Mountain Biking. It was this experience in cycling, or more so bicycle maintenance, that led Daniel to asking John to join him on the London to Melbourne expedition.In addition to his diverse sporting ventures that have including playing Soccer and Australian Football at a senior level, Surfing, Snowboarding and competing in running and triathlon events he has also succeeded academically. John has completed a Bachelor of Business (Sport and Leisure Management) at La Trobe University which has led him to variety of management roles within the sport and recreation industry.
John has spoken at several schools, sporting and Rotary clubs and to businesses. He enjoys sharing stories from Danny and John's 14 month long bicycle ride from London to Melbourne. His ability to communicate with people of different age groups, cultures and social classes is exceptional as is his capability to hook any audience with tales of his experiences on two wheels.
"Having audiences captivated by our stories is a wonderful feeling. Everyone has goals and dreams but sadly many people never believe it’s possible to achieve them. My aim is to change that thought process and encourage people to challenge themselves to achieve their goals." John Clark.


Daniel draws the attention of a room as he enters and then his booming voice and loving nature wins over your concentration almost instantly. Not to mention he was the brains behind the London to Melbourne bicycle ride concept. An idea of a 24,000km physical feat that many would never even contemplate and some people can't even comprehend.
