We love riding

Sunday 5 May — Ride2Riverstone

A few of us from CAMWEST are helping the Rivertone Lions Club once again organise the Ride2Riverstone event which is scheduled for Sunday May 5th 2013. The ride takes place around the semi-rural areas of the Hawkesbury and Hills area of North-Western Sydney and raises funds for the The Australian Lions Childhood Cancer Research Foundation.

All rides are loop rides, starting and finishing at Riverstone, and the distance choices are approximately 30, 50, 80 and 100 km.

If you'd like to help promote the event, an A4 poster can be downloaded and printed from the A4 flyer (PDF). These could be displayed in local coffee shops, bike shops, uni campuses, work places.......where ever you think bike riders might see them. Please make sure you're allowed to display them first though!

For more details and on-line registration see ride2riverstone.com.au.
