FUNDRAISERS
The count down is on! The HBF Freeway Bike Hike for Asthma is rolling forward and we need some serious Fundraisers to get moving and help us to make this the biggest fundraising event for the Asthma Foundation of WA!
We have set every rider the challenge to raise $100.00 for their ride. As an added incentive we have a competition in which each rider that raises $100, automatically goes in the draw to win a very new, very shiny, GT Aggressor MTB. There are 6 to give away so start fundraising and change the lives of people living with asthma!! Click here to set up your own fundraising page.
If this really isn’t your thing you can help support the Asthma Team by donating to help them ride like the wind and make a difference to the thousands of people suffering from Asthma. Click here to be taken directly to the Asthma Foundation of Western Australia’s Team page.
Congratulations to all our top fundraisers! Your efforts will have a significant impact on the community.

The cycle knicks are made with Scody’s new high-tech heat reflective and compression Lycra. The use of two high performing lycra’s, ensure you’re being assisted in your ride by a performance enhancing garment.

SAFETY - EDDY SAYS...
"Always pass on the outside of riders (but only if safe to do so). Never pass on the inside, especially around a corner... it is an accident waiting to happen."
"Ride with your head up. I have seen too many people ride looking down, not seeing what is happening up the road ahead of them."
