Yes after much happening behind the scenes I am happy to announce that the Bandanna Day Bike Ride is back on the road.
Now we need community support more than ever, you can either register and participate in the ride and raise some money in sponsorship or if you can't make it on the day you can simply sponsor a rider.
I've committed to a fundraising target of $25,000.00 for this years event so we need your help.
The Bandanna Day Bike Ride is a non-competitive charity bicycle ride held to raise funds and awareness for the CanTeen organisation, a great community day out.
The event takes place on Bandanna Day each year (last Friday in October) and over $120,000 has been raised for CanTeen since the first ride in October 2000, an average of 100 riders participate each year.
