Gearing Up for 2017

Take three!



They saying goes; "third time lucky!" Well I don't necessarily believe in luck, but I am hoping that this time around, the Red Shield Ride will reach further into the Tasmanian community and raise more money to aid The Salvation Army in journeying alongside some of the most vulnerable member of the community than ever before.

I'm still learning new things about how to go about putting on a Charity Ride, and yet at the same time things others things are getting easier with the familiarity.

Advertising is starting to go public and recruitment for riders is underway!

This year's Ride will be held over five days; Saturday 20th May - Wednesday 24th May.  The format is looking somewhat simpler, but that doesn't mean things are going to be easier.  

Even though we're only riding for five days; we're again going further and climbing higher.  Each day will hold it's own challenge, we're planning on riding over 660km's and climb over 8000m.  

Riders are being encouraged to sign up for single rides.

All the information can be found at www.salvationarmy.org.au/redshieldride; you can register to ride, sponsor a rider, or simply have a look if you're interested.

There'll be more information to come in the coming days so watch this space.
