Event Information
RIDE LOCATION CHANGED - NOW HOSTED AT SANDY CREEK
Join us in the vineyards at Sandy Creekt for another picturesque ride that we all love!
The course is likely to include Vineyyard tracks, dirt and gravel roads to keep us out of the bogand due to the ride being moved to an alternate location at the last minute!
Claire Pearce (ride organiser) is sponsoring this event through her small business, Nesty Boxes, and her dad has also chipped in through Hills Farm Supplies. They’ll be offering a free 20kg bag of equine feed to every rider who completes, no matter the division or distance, so we really encourage everyone to give it a go.
PLEASE THANK LISA AND COLIN BROWN FOR HELPING PULL OFF A LAST MINUTE MOVE TO THEIR LOVELY PLACE IN SANDY CREEK AT THE LAST MINUTE
