The paramedic who now lives in Deniliquin in the state's south gathered some colleagues, Ian Pollard from Young, Robert Crampton from Deniliquin and Hillston's Luke Randall with the support vehicle manned by Peter Dawson to help raise funds for Movember.
The task seems simple, travel 1500 kilometres on motorbikes over three days, visiting towns such as Wagga, Junee, Cootamundra, Cowra and Dubbo along the way.
"We did a trial run before we went on the ride and reached 85 to 90 kilometres an hour," Mr Everett said.
Their chosen bike of choice was the Honda CB125e.
However, once out on the road it wasn't as simple, Mr Everett said.
With all the gear they needed the bikes only reached 75 to 80km/h, the slower speeds on the final day were particularly punishing when the temperature on the final day reached 47 degrees Celsius.
"It was harder than planned," Mr Everrett said.
Despite the difficulty increasing, it didn't deter the group from completing the task who set themselves a goal of raising $20,000 for Movember.
Before leaving Deniliquin, the team had $7500 in the bank for an eventual $19,000.
One of the stops on the journey was Junee and Mr Everett said the town had changed in the 13 years he'd been away.
"It's amazing how nice the town looks, council have done a good job," Mr Everett said.
"Riding into town was like riding home, but it was different," he said.
At a stop over at the Red Cow Hotel, more than $1000 was raised, which Mr Everett put down to support from Junee businesses including the Red Cow, AGnVet and the IGA supermarket.
"It was just amazing."
Raising vital funds was only half the story however.
"We wanted to raise awareness as well as raising money. Raising the awareness was just as rewarding as the ride," Mr Everett said.
Mr Everett said the inspiration for the ride came from a few people they encountered who didn't realise they were suffering so badly from mental health issues they required hospitalisation.
The paramedics took some time out to chat to groups of people along the way including the Junee Men's Shed, and encouraged men to take the time out to visit their GP at least once a year.
"The easiest way to remember is to book it in on your birthday," Mr Everett said.
