ACE cyclists help raise $2000

Wet conditions failed to dampen the spirits of riders at the Arapiles Cycling Event earlier this month.

Nearly 90 riders took part in the event on October 5, raising $2000 in support of charity group Wimmera Against Cancer in Kids.

Riders from across Victoria participated, with a choice of completing a 20, 50, 75 or 100-kilometre circuit, starting in Natimuk.

Mark Nuttall travelled from Belmont, near Geelong, to participate and said he loved the experience.

“I really enjoy travelling up to Horsham for the weekend and completing the ride,” he said.

“I like to support rides that are smaller, where people give up their time to run the event and the money goes back into the community.

“My friend and I drove up on Friday night, completed the ride and spent the afternoon having lunch at a winery with our wives.”

The 2024 ride included: two father-son teams; a team of riders from Port Fairy; a man who rode the 100-kilometre circuit in support of a separate cancer charity; two riders who rode the 100-kilometre circuit and returned to Melbourne to complete the ‘Around the Bay’ ride the following day; and a growing number of e-bike riders.
