Murray to Moyne Ride – March 2010

Several of our members and/or family members braved the 24 hour – 520km, Murray to Moyne team cycle relay event last weekend (27 & 28 March). Both our riders and support crew arrived home safely, if a bit sleep deprived. I’m sure the few quiet ones enjoyed on the way home went down nicely.

Congratulations to our riders Bel and Ross (especially Ross on achieving 300 kms!) Congrats also to Luke’s better-half, Bek for also riding. A special mention to our support crew, Luke for driving and Troy for retrieving our valuable missing items (namely our tent poles!).

Photos to come!

Murray to Moyne Dinner – March 2010

Another successful Murray to Moyne Dinner, raising much needed funds for the Leukemia Foundation. This year’s guest speaker, Phil Anderson, gave us an insight into his days of riding in the tour de france.

In 1981 Phil was the first non-European cyclist to wear the coveted leaders yellow jersey in the Tour de France. He came fifth in 1982, in which he won the white jersey of best young rider, and fifth again in 1985.

Many thanks to Ross Huntington who, together with the RC of Ballarat West, organised this fantastic night.
