When we finished at Cunnamulla last year, we looked forward to coming back to ride on through Queensland to Townsville. A year seems plenty of time, but now we have just 2 weeks to go until we start MADRIDE 3! The riding group has been getting into the training, the jersey’s have arrived, the planning has been done, and we just have to get all the gear together now and head for Queensland. It will be nice to leave the southern winter behind, and get to the warmer weather…but it will be a real buzz to get into the riding.
Of course, we don’t get to do this without a whole lot of co-operation from other people. Particularly, we are really thankful for the communities along the way that support us as we go through with accommodation and support for the MADCOW cause. We work out where will get to each day, and then start making calls to community groups to see what facility we can find that has space for our swags to go on the floor, toilet/showers, kitchen facilities. Over and over again, we find people who are willing and keen to help us and be generous towards us. It is pretty humbling, and so crucial to us being able keep the cost at a price the team can fund themselves so the money raised all goes to homeless and disadvantaged people that MADCOW is helping.
We will keep you updated with preparations over the next couple of weeks, but in the meantime we really appreciate you spreading the word about the ride by sharing this website, and donating to MADCOW. Also, the riders would love it if you left a comment on their profile to cheer them on.
Thanks for your support
