Read about Peter Baker's Bushfire Relief Ride

The flyer - Download in Pdf (Yes you may send it on to interested parties)

On Saturday the 28th of February one of our members - Peter Baker - will be cycling 121kms to raise funds for Bushfire Relief.

As a younger man, Peter was an Endurance Touring Cyclist and spent some time competing for the Gawler Road Cycling Club.

He made a return to the bike in 2008, setting a goal to ride the 2009 Mutual Community Challenge.

Returning from a training ride to Kersbrook on the 13th of February 2009 he started thinking how he could help the bushfire relief fund.

The goal was set to ride a 121km loop from Gawler to Kersbrook through Gumeracha to Springton, back to Williamstown and home to Gawler.

The 121km loop

Peter has been astounded at the support received in Gawler. Within 24 hours the Bunyip offered promotional support. Gawler Lions offered financial and infrastructure support, with further assistance en route from Torrens Valley Lions.

Local community leaders, the ever energetic Mayor Brian Sambel and member for light Tony Piccolo have thrown their full support behind the project.

Members of Gawler Barossa A.C.R.M have offered support vehicles and radio communication. Clearly marked, sign written vehicles will arrive well in advance of Peter, stopping all town en route allowing people to donate.

Alternatively people may donate by telephoning the “Lions Event Secretary” Jim Downer on 0418821667

Meetings are held on the 3rd Tuesday of each month (except December)
