Twenty-two riders have signed up for this year’s new-look Ride 4 Relay fundraiser, with organiser Jason Wyeth hoping they can again raise between $20,000 and $30,000 for Relay For Life.<\/p>\n

The riders will be departing from Wondai next Tuesday (August 29) to explore a new, but not less challenging, route around the South Burnett.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Day 1 will cover from Wondai to Nanango, where the riders will spend the night at the showgrounds.<\/p>\n

Then it’s off to Bjelke-Petersen Dam for Day 2.<\/p>\n

On Day 3 the riders will head off from the dam to Proston, via Boat Mountain.<\/p>\n

The group will spend two nights in Proston.<\/p>\n

On Day 4, they will complete a loop ride around Abbeywood and Hivesville before returning to Proston to enjoy their farewell dinner at the Golden Spurs Hotel.<\/p>\n

Day 5 – the last day – will be from Proston back to Wondai.<\/p>\n

Jason said there would be three support crew accompanying the riders.<\/p>\n

He anticipated there would be some tough days as the cyclists negotiated hills along the route.<\/p>\n

The first Ride 4 Relay was held in 2017 and has been held every year since, raising just over $140,000 for Cancer Council Queensland along the way.<\/p>\n
