This is the one that said it all for me.

26 riders set out from Newcastle to Bathurst, riding 365km with over 5000m of climbing, to raise money for an amazing program. Half the bunch hadn't been on a bike since childhood, so every ounce of resilience, support and intestinal fortitude were needed to get the whole group over the line.

Thanks to the support of our wonderful community and sponsors we have now been able to fund a program that will allow the young men, women and kids from our club to always have someone to turn to in their toughest times with the assistance of NewPsych Psychologists .

Thank you to everyone who donated and to our great sponsors.
