GRAVEL RIDE WITH US FOR A CAUSE - Thursday, August 13, 5.45pm
Join us for our (monthly) social gravel ride for this special August edition - this one is a YANA ride!
We'll roll out from the shop's rear parking lot at 5.45pm and spend the next hour or so exploring some Valley road and gravel together. No drop, no pressure - just good people, bikes and a fun time.
Afterwards, stick around and join us for a social get-together - the post ride location will be announced closer to the date.
Participating riders must have
- a bike in excellent working condition
- proper riding and safety gear like lights and flat repair kits
- proper equipment to be self supported.
Please note that the shop will not be open, it is just a start and potential finish location. You are expected to follow all the rules of the road and ride safely in a group. We may finish the ride at a different location. Please have proper ID with you.
Join our team, register for the gravel ride on Thursday, August 13, and help support local families along the way.
WHY YOU SHOULD JOIN OUR YANA TEAM!
The annual YANA Ride brings together riders of all ages, abilities, and disciplines in one massive community-wide event to raise funds in support of YANA families.
Every dollar raised goes straight to helping a local family receive YANA support while travelling for medical care for a child or pregnant mother. This event raised $112,600 in 2025, covering a significant portion of the cost of running YANA’s funding and accommodation each year. Last year alone, YANA supported 301 children across 586 medical trips, providing more than $372,000 in travel funding and accommodation support to families in our community.
So, why join our team? Because every ride, every donation, and every dollar raised helps make sure local families can focus on what matters most — being there for their child when they need them most.
Come ride with us. Let’s make a difference together.
Kickstands up at 5.45pm on Thursday, August 13, 2026.
