Bikers set to ride for Legacy

The bikers are set to ride on November 19

A fundraising bike ride organised by Central Coast-based group, Bikers for Legacy, will be held on Sunday, November 19.

The ride will raise funds for Brisbane Water Legacy, and with Legacy celebrating its Centenary this year, will be a very special occasion.

Money raised from the ride will go towards supplying food hampers to veterans’ families this Christmas.

Registration is at Heatherbrae Pies, 207 Pacific Hwy, Ourimbah at 8.30am, with stands up at 9.30am.

Participants are asked for a $20 donation per bike to join the ride which finishes at Ourimbah RSL where there will be raffles, prizes and entertainment.

“Hopefully there will be between 80 and 100 riders on the day,” Bikers for Legacy president Ty Coates said.

“The planned route is only about an hour-and-a-half, a pretty easy ride.”

The club formed about a year ago and is endorsed and supported by Brisbane Water NSW Legacy and sponsored by Ourimbah RSL Club.

“We’ve got nine members, so it’s a small club, but we are real givers and prepared to do the work to raise money for Legacy,” Coates said.

“We just love riding and supporting such a necessary cause as Legacy.”

Brisbane Water NSW Legacy CEO Peter Lawley said Legacy was extremely grateful for the continuing support.

“We are able to fund Christmas hampers that our Legatees (volunteers) will deliver to our most needy and vulnerable in the weeks leading up to Christmas,” he said.
