Who is Jack Sinclair?

Jack Sinclair was the youngest person ever to cycle across Australiawhen he completed the 4,500 kilometre ride from Cottesloe Beach, Perth in Western Australia to the beach of Surfers Paradise, Queensland in just 30 days.

Sinclair rode to raise funds for the youth mentoring charity Big Brothers Big Sisters of Australia. He was accompanied on the ride by his father, Brendon Sinclair. Professional cyclist Robbie McEwen was the Ride Ambassador and provided training and ride advice.

His interest in endurance cycling commenced when he donated a web site to charity bike ride "Sydney to Surfers" - a site he continues to manage - that raises in excess of $200,000 per year for the Youth Off The Streets charity.

In July 2009, Sinclair completed the 42.2 kilometre Gold Coast Airport Marathon. Two weeks later he completed the 96 kilometre Kokoda Challenge bushwalk. Sinclair is also a regular competitor in the Noosa Triathlon, an Olympic distance triathlon and a pilot.

In a four- week period from 4 July 2010, Sinclair ran the Gold Coast Half Marathon, the Brisbane Half Marathon and was a member of the record breaking winning school team for the grueling 96 km Kokoda Challenge.
