Its a subject that we've covered here numerous times, and most have covered it with the sensitivity and humility it deserves.Here's your chance to throw some real support behind the cause while also enjoying a great day on two wheels with your mates!
There are 17 different organised rides happening all over the country on the 24th of march to raise awareness and most importantly $$$'s for this great cause!! Nearly all of us have had some experience with mental illness, depression or anxiety whether it on a personal level or seeing/helping a friend or family member with their wrestle with the black dog. Or possibly worse still got that horrible news that a friend or family member has lost their battle with the black dog and is no longer with us :'(.
For a donation entry fee of $25-$45 you'll get breakfast, your very own "Winston" mascot to strap to your bike and a great group ride with your mates. So get on board and enter, even if you haven't got a road bike drag out your club or full reg'd enduro bike and join in the fun while raising awareness and money for this very very important cause. I'll be doing the Bacchus Marsh ride and i'm just lucky that its meeting/departure point is only 500 meters from home!!
