You would be aware of the Ride Like Crazy event which was
held recently on Sunday 19 January. The City of Unley has funded their event in
the past and this year supported them as part of a 3 year arrangement under the
Cultural Sponsorships program with $ 2 500 and in kind support. It is always
good to hear good news stories and I wanted to share comments sent to me by one
of their organisers:
This year we had 1500 riders
which include 9 tandem teams (with a vision impaired rider (called stokers)).
Preliminary projections
indicated that RLC will be able to donate all of the riders entrance fee to the
two nominated charities, the Board and Charities have conducted additional
activities (Dinner and film viewings) to raise additional funds to cover the
costs of the event this year.
We have received a number of
emails from riders this year proclaiming that it is the best ride and
coordinated event. The also mention logistically how good it is to start and
finish in the same area.
I would like to thank all of
your staff involved in the years event. Their contributions help significantly
with the organising and coordination of the event. In particular, the
assistance of John Wilkinson and Carly Smith. A big thanks also needs to be go
to Michael Howley on the day, he came to the oval and solved a few
issues.
Thanks to the Council for your
continuing support.
