2016 Fundraising Page - now open!

Sydney Cricket Ground (SCG) to Bowral - Sunday 14 February 2016
This will be a unique ride! A one day ride from the Sydney Cricket Ground (SCG) to Bradman Oval in Bowral. The SCG have kindly offered to host a breakfast for 100 riders and 10 support crew from 6am on Sunday 14 February 2016 in the Members at the SCG. After breakfast, riders will get dressed into their cycling gear in the Australian dressing room. They will then proceed onto the hallowed turf of the SCG for a photo in front of the Members Pavilion. Riders will then get on their bikes at the Steve Waugh Statue and ride out the Arthur Morris gates and onto Bowral at 8am. The ride is 145km and around 1,500m in climbing, most of which is in the second half of the ride. Morning tea will be at the 50km mark at 10am at Liverpool, then we will ensure we have 100 before lunch at Bargo at 1pm. We should be into Bowral by 4pm. We can use the change rooms at Bowral Oval and then either catch the 6.38pm train back to Central, Sydney or car pool back. There will be 2 vehicles going back to Dubbo, 1 vehicle to Mudgee and 1 to Newcastle at this stage.
Numbers are limited to 100 and entry is via a $100 donation to the Steve Waugh Foundation. The link to make the donation will take you to Ritchie and Andrew McKay's fundraising page for the recent "Captains Ride".

2015 Sydney/Hobart Yacht Race
Well done to the crew of "Mahligai" as they completed the recent Sydney to Hobart on Saturday 26 December 2015. The crew raised funds for the Black Dog Institute, with Andrew Fletcher raising in excess of $16,000. Murray Owen and Jenny Kings again Skippered and Navigated "Mahligai" down the coast.
Murray and Jen have been big supporters of the Zoo2Zoo and the Black Dog Institute since 2009, with "Mahligai" sporting a Zoo2Zoo logo. There is talk of having a "Yacht versus bike" challenge in 2016, where by 12 cyclists will take off at 1pm from the CYCA and see if they can ride to Hobart before "Mahligai". At this stage we have one cyclist keen, and he is quite slow.
David McKay - Media Star!
