- Motorcycle enthusiasts can ride while helping a great cause this month because the annual Tableland Toy Run is set to begin again on Saturday, November 22.
The ride, starting at Tinaroo Dam and finishing at Tolga Sports Ground, donates toys to underprivileged kids in the community while having a bit of fun.
Each rider brings a toy to donate to the Salvation Army. They also add a bit of Christmas spirit to kids by carrying lollies and goodies for bystanders watching the ride.
The riders are encouraged to immerse themselves in Christmas cheer by dressing up their bikes and themselves in Christmas decorations and Santa costumes.
All bikers are encouraged to go along for the ride for a great experience. Breakfast is available courtesy of the Tinaroo Rural Fire Brigade, and the Salvation Army will provide lunch after the run.
There will be a prize for the best decorated bike and the longest ride. So jump on your bike and head to Tinaroo for a 9am start on November 22. The underprivileged kids in the community will thank you for it. For more information contact Bob on 0438 179 812 or email peachy@conxx.com.
