Dr Gomes met up with the Girls Got Heart riders in the small rural town of Purga, to thank them for their impressive efforts and to share his personal insights regarding the work of Heart of Australia and its importance in rural communities.
He snapped these photos as the riders set off once again with today's final destination of Boonah in their determined sights.
The origin story of Girls Got Heart fills us with joy and inspiration.
Co-founders Bec and Keely recently shared the story with ABC Brisbane's Loretta Ryan, of how the work of Heart of Australia, and the heartfelt loss of a rural community drove them to get involved and make a difference.
You'll also hear more about today's ride which kicked off at 6:30am while some of us were still in bed.
