If you feel like a challenge and enjoy the adventure of the open road, then you’ll love this awesome ride. Commencing on August 18, riders from all around Australia are heading to the Red Centre to raise community awareness of depression and suicide prevention. The final leg of the journey on Friday 24 will take us to the Mall in the heart of Alice Springs for a Community Event and BBQ lunch attended by the Mayor.

Whether you ride the first 50kms, make it a weekend ride by joining us in Griffith NSW, or go the whole distance to the Red Centre, you will become a Black Dog Rider and help draw attention to depression, a debilitating illness which affects 1 in 5 Australians.

Riders should book early as accommodation is limited. See the Black Dog Ride website for full details or contact dazza@tucan.net for info about the ACT leg of the ride.
