We’re On The Road Again!!

by rider on June 17, 2009

yellow-riders12I would like to personally thank the ride group, support crew and sponsors for all of their support and hard work to make this charity bike ride an ongoing success.

The 2008 ride was another great success with the group riding from Inverell to Newcastle raising $194,500 and therefore increasing our four year total to just over $605,000!

The 2008 ride had many highlights with outstanding fund-raisers organised by the local McDonald’s Owner Operators in Inverell, Coffs Harbour, Port Macquarie and Taree.

school-1Another highlight was the planned educational visits to four primary schools along the ride route. During each school visit we talked to the children about the role Ronald McDonald House plays with in the community, safe cycling and the Rural Fire Service educated the children about fire safety.

We’ll be keeping you posted between now and the beginning of the 2009 ride. Thanks as always for your continued support and donations to the cause.
