WHAT IS MAD RIDE

A group of 23 novice cyclists making the journey from Bunbury (WA) to Bendigo (VIC) between September 17th and October 8th. That’s 3513km in 22 days, or a Tour de France without the hills!  175km a day across three states of Australia will be quite a challenge, but we are committed to having a go.  MADCOW (Make A Difference, Change Our World) is a local charity connected with Bendigo Baptist Community Care.  They are working hard to alleviate the plight of vulnerable and disadvantaged people in our community, through avenues such as the Life Essentials Op Shop, Counselling Services, Budget Planning Advice, MADCOW cleaning (which is employing Karen refugees and helping them find their way into the workforce). Through the MAD Ride, we aim to raise awareness and resources for MADCOW to continue to make a difference in our community and beyond.
