Show your support
All riders have fundraised and trained for the ride. Many of them ride because they’ve been personally touched by cancer or they’ve supported a loved one through cancer. This is not your typical cycling crowd. This event attracts people of all ages and abilities. They come together to do something powerful to end this disease. Two hundred kilometres is tough for many of the riders so if you see them on the road, please take the time to cheer them on. It really does help keep them going.
