Yes, the Ride for Life is back again in 2008, for the fifth consecutive year, and this year it will be staged on a Sunday for the very first time.
It’s a fun day for everyone! And it’s for all ages. Whether you are there to compete, cheer on the cyclists, provide support for your corporate team, join in with the fun ride, check out the latest cycling equipment with the bicycle trade show, get your face painted, jump on the jumping castle or just enjoy the atmosphere – it is a day to mark in your calendar.
The Ride for Life has not only moved to a Sunday but to a new course in the centre of the Park. The course is much easier than last year and will be a little more conducive to faster pedalling. It’s sure to provide exciting racing with the course reduced to a fast undulating 2-kilometre circuit.
This is the one day a year in cycling where cancer survivors, kids with their mums & dads, past Olympic champions, corporate groups, amateur and professional cyclists can take up the challenge and help raise the much-needed funds for the cancer unit at the Prince of Wales Hospital.
And this year participants can raise additional funds by being sponsored and supported as an Everyday Hero. No matter what event, whether it is the registered racing events of the corporate challenge or the recreational family ride, sign up with Everyday hero, create your own web page and have the chance of winning an Avanti Fitness Blade Bike, kindly donated by Avanti.
This is a way of raising substantial funds for those that need it the most!! Go here to read more.
Activities for children include a family fun cycle, entertainment, face painting and jumping castles. Plenty of food available or just bring a picnic hamper.
