Would you like to be part of a bike ride from Darwin to Bairnsdale? On 13th June 2004, two cyclist, John Nelson and Ted Lowe set off from Darwin to ride home to Bairnsdale via Perth and Adelaide. On Saturday 13th November they will arrive home and we are looking for cyclists who would like to join them in the last leg from Sale to Bairnsdale.

The ride is raising money for the Bionic Ear Institute and the Meningitis Foundation.

John Nelson is member of Rotary and his home club is Bairnsdale, the Rotary Club of Mitchell River is inviting you to join then last leg of the ride.

Everyone who can find sponsorship for or donate $100 will earn the right to ride home with John and Ted. All donations can be tax deductible.

You can join the ride at Sale or anywhere between Sale and Bairnsdale and ride behind the marathon cyclists.

With Police and CFA support, the roads crossing the highway into Bairnsdale will be blocked for your safety. It is planned to finish in Bairnsdale on Saturday 13th November, but it will be up to all riders to monitor the Bairnsdale Advertiser or our website at http://www.mrrc.org.au/bikeride/ for times.
