Bras N Bikes 17th Annual Charity Ride – Sunday 28th October 2018.
Once again Girl Torque, the Sunshine Coast Motorcycle Ride Group for Women, has done an awesome job in organising the Bras N Bikes 17th Annual Charity Ride. For those that don’t know, all proceeds from this wonderful event go to help the Bloomhill Cancer Care Help Centre in Buderim.
This is always a fun event and just watching all the bikers and pillions in pink was definitely a sight to see. First of all a huge congratulations to everyone involved. A mammoth job and one which you all seemed to breeze through. Though I am sure it wasn’t as easy as you made it look! The corner markers and helpers were amazing and they all did a fantastic job. You should all be proud of yourselves. The weather was stunning Sunshine Coast weather and the route was superb. I have been living on the Sunshine Coast for 7 years and Girl Torque took us on roads I never knew existed.
We started off at Yandina Bowls Club and let me tell you….the people organising the parking of the bikes were incredible. I don’t know exactly how many bikes would have been there. I would say close to 300 maybe even more, but they handled us like pros. Heaven forbid you park on an angle cos ya gotta move it into line. I say this with love, they were so friendly and always smiling. AND knew how to fit all of us bikes in. If everyone had parked where they wanted, we all would not have got in. Kudos to you all. So please take the comment as a light hearted jest as is intended. You guys rocked!
