Riding For The Future Of Kids

The annual Snowy Ride was held this weekend and brought with it a record 3043 entrants - that's a lot of chrome and leather in Thredbo, whilst raising a huge amount of $s for fighting children's cancer.

The weather was perfect - warm (in Thredbo terms ;-) and sunny with just enough breeze to keep the flies away. Even the evening was mild by past Snowy Ride comparisons - no rain, no snow, no howling gales nor freezing temps.

The Brewster Brothers (aka The Angels) put on a wonderful concert last night - enjoyed by a good-sized crowd.

Once again a well organised and well run deserving charity event, which would be nothing without the big hearts of so many bikers enjoying the winding highways and byways of the Snowy Mountains.
