Hi everyone,

On the 10th of December there will be a Ride for Nick to remember the tragic passing of one of our club mates, and my very close friend, Nick Ruygrok. Those wanting to participate, please save this date.

The ride will be at a very steady pace to make it accessible for as many people as possible.

Details such as the route are being organised now, but it will begin at 7am from Centennial Park, however DHBC riders will leave from Marrickville at 6.30am and ride to Centennial Park. The likely route will include La Perouse, the destination Nick was heading that day, and potentially end in Coogee, a special place for Nick for a number of reasons.

We're also organising a commemorative jersey where the entire purchase cost will be donated to the Amy Gillett Foundation.

For those on Facebook, the below event has been created. stay tuned for more details and I hope to see you there.
