by admin on June 15, 2010

Well another financial year is over and the final tally for the ride resulted in a cheque for $170,788 being handed to Fr Chris Riley at the presentation dinner last Friday, which along with a total of $46,212 which had gone directly to Youth off the Streets, from various riders, made a total of $217,000.00 for the year.

$217,000 For Youth off the Streets

This was a fantastic result and you are all to be congratulated for your efforts.

This takes the total for the twelve rides to date to $1,503,939.

An Open Letter From Wayne McIvor

by admin on May 19, 2010

Hi Everyone

It’s been only a short time since the Sydney – Surfers but I’m still feeing it is good to be home, safe & sound and feeling normal again.

A couple of pilates sessions, a massage, a visit to the osteopath and I’m as good as new. Others perhaps not feeling quite so lucky, Conor Kiernan the plucky Irishman, I know bitterly disappointed at his early exit but will no doubt be back.

Tom’s Extreme Measures For The Limelight

Tom Forbes always enjoys the lime light, though the measures taken this year were a little extreme, a new scar to add to Facebook.

Guys you were both sorely missed in the bunch, your team mate Michael Herbert struggled valiantly through a tough week, I doubt even a high speed crash was going to dent his good looks.

Tom has just edited up video he took from the ride – it’s a fantastic look at the 2010 Sydney to Surfers.

Thanks Tom.

Almost 600 Photos Now Online

by admin on May 13, 2010

Hello – Jack again.

I’ve now edited all of the photos Dad took on the last day of the ride and uploaded them all here.

I’ve also added photos sent through by Mark Miller and Judy (thanks for sending them through).  The total is almost 600 new photos.

Free Photos

If you see a photo of yourself you’d like then it’s simple to get hold of the original.

Each photo has a number and an ‘a’ or ‘ab’ at the end – you’ll see this number when you look at the photo inside our galleries.  It’s at the top left of each photo.

Photo number is top left

Photo number is top left

Just let me (jack@sydneytosurfers.org.au) know what number the photo(s) are and I’ll email you the full size image at high resolution.

This means it’s a really big image that you can edit and/or get printed.

You can ask for how ever many photos you want, as long as I have the number I’ll be able to send them straight out.

I’ll put some photos below so we have some colour on the site, but remember there are almost 600 photos here.

Cost Is $0

Cost: the cost is $0, zip, nil, zilch.

I’m at school at the moment, so it may take a day or 2 to respond to emails.  But I will answer everyone and do my best.

I really hope you get a great image of yourself – if not, apologies.  And let’s just blame my dad!

Thanks

Jack
