Andrew Holden … riding 75km next week as a warm-up for his 200km challenge<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

May 22, 2015<\/strong><\/p>\n

Goomeri resident Andrew Holden’s 200km “Ride To Conquer Cancer” is getting closer, so he has a “little” training ride planned for next week.<\/p>\n

Andrew, who is the store manager for BGA AgriServices in Goomeri, will ride 75km from Kingaroy to Goomeri next Friday (May 29).<\/p>\n

He will start at BGA AgriServices in Kingaroy and hopes to finish the ride at noon at his store in Goomeri.<\/p>\n

Andrew would love to see lots of local residents coming down to the BGA AgriServices car park to welcome him home.<\/strong><\/p>\n

He said there would be plenty of other activities happening with a BGA In-Store Day with displays from supporting ag businesses.<\/p>\n

The Goomeri Lions Club will be on site with their famous chip van selling burgers and drinks (with proceeds going to the Ride to Conquer Cancer).<\/p>\n

\u201cI have been very lucky to have the support of some wonderful local people and businesses including the Goomeri Grand Hotel, the Lions Club, CROW-FM 90.7 and of course, BGA AgriServices,” Andrew said.<\/p>\n

“I am aiming to raise a total of $5000 for cancer research and appreciate all donations received. If I reach my target, I have promised to wear a pink tutu so I encourage everyone to support my ride.\u201d<\/p>\n

Andrew has signed up for the \u201cRio Tinto Ride To Conquer Cancer\u201d in August during which he has to ride 200km over two days.<\/p>\n

Funds raised from the event will support the QIMR Berghofer Medical Research Institute, a worldwide leader in cancer research and discovery.<\/p>\n
