The bridge at Woori Yallock is the longest on the Warburton trail.

It's a flat, well-surfaced 40 kilometer ride. Last year we did it with kids and stopped for a picnic lunch.

We're all causing 5 people to sponsor us for completing the ride for $40, $80 or $100 dollars.

We will be creating a way of keeping track of the people sponsoring you in the next week or so.

Ways you can contribute:

 

We are always looking for ways to make this more fun, easier to be related and safer:

 

1.       A way of getting people and bikes back to Lilydale after the ride. Some people  if they are not spending the night in Warburton and don’t want to do the return trip that day

 

2.       Ideas around creating the lunch time more fun and better organised. Currently everyone brings their own and that’s it. It would be great if we had some events for adults and/or kids and possibly a food swap to get people interactive and talking and sharing.

 

3.       A way of getting people related at the beginning of the ride so they feel comfortable with at least some of the other people they don’t know on the ride.

 

4.      Experience with First Aid
