Ride for a Reason

One of the best charity rides in Sydney, Sydney CC’s Ride for a Reason (R4R) is this year on Saturday 14 October 2017.

This is our 11th year, and after 10 years of doing our epic 165k ride from Sydney to Bowral supporting the Tulip Time Festival, we are taking on a refreshing new challenge to start and finish in Sydney. The ride remains spectacular and super challenging, and we are still planning to raise lots of dollars for our chosen charity – the amazing Freedom Wheels, which enable kids who may not be able to walk to ride!

The Newcrest Orange Challenge is no easy cycle. There are no shortcuts. The quiet and car-free country roads are punctuated with sharp, tough climbs, never ending hills and challenging road surfaces that will put all of your training to the test. But that won’t stop you from cracking a smile…

Bicycle Network will be by your side the entire way with full on-route support, including food and rest stops. We’ll take care of everything, so that all you have to do is ride and soak up the beautiful NSW countryside.

With a new event site in the heart of Orange and special family-friendly activities over the weekend, there’s something for everyone to enjoy, both on and off the bike.

The Ride to Remember is back in 2019… bigger and better… on Saturday 7 September 2019.

Why are we riding?

We are riding to raise awareness of dementia. Organisers Nick and Pierre have first hand experience with the disease. Both of Nick’s grandmothers passed away after suffering from dementia, and Nick’s father was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease in 2011. Pierre’s mother was diagnosed in 2015.

Their personal experiences, as well as those of many of their close friends, prompted the guys to use their passion for cycling to raise awareness and funds to help find a cure for the terrible disease.
