Hi, I’ve just added 22 photos I’ve received into our photo albums here.
I’m also trying out this cool photo display tool below. If you have any photos from the ride you’d like to share please send them through to me at jack@sydneytosurfers.org.au.
What makes a ride great? Is it the ride, is it the people, is it the weather or is it just a combination of everything?
I don’t know the answer, but if I did I’d make sure we had it each year, but there was something about the 2009 ride that felt good.
People were saying it, and I certainly felt it, and I’m sure the good weather helped.
Raised $208,505
The result was a fantastic testimony to the efforts of the 151 riders who took part, plus 3 others who raised funds but were forced to withdraw from the ride due to injury.
We raised a total of $ 208,505 for Youth off the Streets, taking the eleven year total to $1,286,939
Congratulations Julie!
The car was won by Julie Coote, who having been forced to miss last year’s ride through injury, was able to make it this year, and in fact flew down from the Gold Coast to attend the presentation dinner and was there to receive the keys to the car. Congratulations Julie.
Fraser and Kay Mackay-Sim of Macsim Fastenings Pty Ltd announced at the dinner that they would again be prepared to sponsor the ride next year.
So keep tuned, we will advise the date as soon as it is set.
It was also great to have Ann Collins with us for the dinner, looking very well, back at work, but still undergoing a lot of physio following her accident last year.
