Title: The Long Ride
Post by: Dennisgw on August 27, 2012, 11:24:47 AM

Hi All,

Don't now if any members are aware of this annual ride to somewhere in Australia. (Darwin 2011,  Sydney 2012 and now Cairns in 2013). Riders depart from each state and head to a common destination.

This is an annual fund raising event to raise awareness of Prostrate Cancer etc. There is an opportunity to enter in the event in teams to raise funds and so forth so it could be interesting if we had teams from each state participating, eg OZSTOC Qld, with a gathering in the Far North afterwards. I have no idea at this time if there will be any conflict with other AZSTOC planned events (Forgot to check the calendar before I started typing ....  :grin)

Here is the URL for the Long Ride website if you're interested. http://www.freewebs.com/longride2010/ (http://www.freewebs.com/longride2010/) Even though the URL  says 2010, the topic of discussion is the 2013 ride.

Cheers for now and stay upright.

Hi Dennis

I have added this to the calendar as an event we may organise something around. All for a good cause. Thanks for the heads up!  Closer to the event we can reignite interest.
