Many thanks to for sponsoring the Team Everest Challenge. Teams accumulated the equivalent elevation of Mt Everest (8,849m) on designated climbs.
By the end of the weekend, and with many tired legs, Perre Bros Smash Repairs donated $190 per team, in total $1710 to the cause.
A fantastic combination of fundraising and team building. π

Congratulations to the Red (not bread) Team for winning the inaugural March Mountain Madness Team Challenge.
Red team rode an accumulated 244,727m of (adjusted) elevation. With the Black Team not too far behind on 219,088m
Well done to all the participants. While the competition was a bit of fun, the opportunity to work together, build relationships within the community and raise money for a very worthwhile cause was even better.

Kudos to the red team for their determination to complete the group ride challenge yesterday afternoon! Despite the rain they still managed to ride together virtually ππΌππΌππΌ
π£ Shout out to Sharon, Nancy and Kate for their joint Everest on Mount Keira today!
Shout out to our super sub Nate. π€©π
As a 'rogue rider' Nate has been up for grabs if anyone couldn't ride. For a donation of $100 ($200 to apply the original rider's multiplier) Nate's rides would count towards that rider's team tally.
Thanks Nate for putting in the hard yards (metres) and stepping up for March Mountain Madness 2023.

An update from Kate, one of our 'individual challengers' π
Two of our children attend Smiths Hill and we have all been keen to support Mr Deitz. We have been inspired by his hard work and positivity in the face of adversity.
As a family we have set the goal to run a combined 250km in 3 weeks. We often run later in the evening after our other commitments. Despite rolled ankles, sickness and rain, we are tracking well. We will have a busy week of running next week and are going to achieve our goal.

π« The future is looking bright with our next generation of volunteers π«
Our next generation of volunteers rose to the occasion at our βRide For Deitzβ community day last Saturday. From guessing competitions, a face painting stall, lolly bags and local honey produce, the enthusiasm from our younger generation was inspirational.

Helmet and bike safety checks are essential for safe riding.
Junior riders at the Ride for Deitz Community Day checked their helmets fitted correctly; and then the ABCDE of bike safety.
Air in the tyres; brakes working correctly; chain running smoothly; a gentle drop test to check for rattles; and the ends of handle bars with covers or caps in place.
Thanks Illawarra Cycle Club, AusCycling Si-Cycles and Ride Nation for helping to keep our young riders safe.
