GFB B2B is our one day 180km foundation bike challenge held on Saturday the 16th of September. The ride starts in Berowra on the northern edge of Sydney and finishes in Broke in the Hunter Valley. The ride is tough but we ride together in pelotons and support each other and the great work Lifeline does.
But make sure you conserve your energy. With 165km in your legs you’ll have your chance to see what you’re made of when all riders can Go for Broke for the last 15km.
The top three fundraisers get one of three limited edition yellow event jerseys on the start line. They are labeled either Gold, Silver or Bronze. When you see them on the ride congratulate them for their great achievement. As in the Tour De France, you might thank them by protecting and looking after them during the ride.
Lifeline is a national charity providing all Australians experiencing personal crisis with access to 24 hour crisis support and suicide prevention services. With depression and anxiety on the rise the work they do is crucial. One in five Australians have suffered or are currently a sufferer. On average 8 Australians take their life through suicide each day. You can’t just cure depression. It has to be managed with help, support and love given by those around sufferers of this debilitating disease. All funds raised goes to the great people and work that Lifeline Harbour to Hawkesbury do. Go for Broke use a third party donation site to ensure ALL FUNDS go straight to Lifeline. Wendy Carver, Lifeline’s CEO will be at the start line to send off all the riders.
If you or someone you know is experiencing a personal crisis & need help please contact Lifeline.
Go for Broke is a not for profit organisation run by volunteers. We want to promote how cycling and cycling with friends makes a difference. For both guys and girls, young and old, from whatever walk of life you’re from, we want to share how riding through exercise and riding with mates can help us beat depression. In 2019 we hoped to raise $50,000. Instead the 120 riders who completed the entire route raised $121,532.30. This year we’ll stop registrations at 120. Our goal is to beat last year. We think we can do it. Help us help Lifeline and donate directly to Lifeline or support one of this years’ riders.
If you or your organisation wants to become a sponsor send us an email from the contact page & become part of something special.
