A MESSAGE FROM THE ORGANISERS
Thank you for signing up to the Bondi2Berry Ride to Remember. It’s been a challenging
year for everyone, and we are glad to be riding in 2020, albeit postponed to December.
The inaugural ride in 2016 was the start of an idea that exceeded all expectations and
has continued to grow, and we are ready to roll for the 5 year ride in 2020.
Together, we have raised awareness of a disease which affects so many people. If you
haven’t been affected by the disease personally, then you know someone who has.
So far we have raised over $500,000 to go towards research for a cure.
There are currently over 459,000 Australians affected with dementia, and this will
increase to 1.1 million by 2058. Dementia is the leading cause of death among
Australian women, and remains the second leading cause of death for all Australians.
Thanks to all of you for coming on this journey with us, for fundraising and each doing
your bit to raise awareness of the terrible disease. We are riding to remember.
See you on the bike!
A MESSAGE FROM THE RIDE DIRECTOR
There is more information in the EVENT DAY section, however here are some
important things to note.
The ride is sanctioned by Cycling NSW (no TT bikes), and we are riding under guidelines
provided to us by NSW Police. Please adhere to all normal road rules during the ride.
This is an open road ride, meaning there are no road closures along the course, please
ride safely at all times.
Communication is key – the support vehicles have radio communications to the ride
captains. Please listen to the ride captains and follow their guidance and direction,
please pass all calls up the bunch and back down about changes in road surfaces,
traffic conditions and anything else.
Lastly, it is essential that everyone abides with COVID-19 guidelines. If you are feeling
unwell or have had flu like symptoms within the last 14 days please do not participate
in the ride. Please adhere to 1.5m social distancing, and wash your hands or use hand
sanitiser whenever possible.
See you on the road!
OUR AMBASSADORS

There will be times when the ride captains direct the group to pull
over to an appropriate area on the left side of the ride for a quick
stop if there is large traffic build up or to regroup.
As per riding etiquette, please call or point out holes in the road
surface – “hole left”, “hole middle” or “hole right”, and please pass
