Disabled Surfers Association Mid North Coast and Hastings/Port Macquarie branches, Macleay Vocational College and Special Olympics Mid North Coast will benefit from Cowper MP Luke Hartsuyker’s 2018 Charity Bike Ride.
Mr Hartsuyker, Friedy Meinel and Brian Whitcher rode 180 kilometres over two days from Coffs Harbour to Port Macquarie.
The trio arrived in Port Macquarie on February 21.
Mr Hartsuyker said the ride went really well with pretty good weather apart from a bit of heavy rain.
“We generally had pretty good riding conditions and good support along the way,” he said.
Mr Hartsuyker said the beneficiaries of the ride were great local causes.
Mr Meinel said a 10 kilometre section of the ride into blistering rain was the hardest part.
He said the fundraising aspect of the ride was absolutely fantastic.
Mr Whitcher also praised the ride as a fundraiser.
Principal sponsor bcu donated $10,000 to the event.
People can still donate to the ride online or at any bcu branch.
