This year’s ride will be over four days and start in Tenterfield and finish at Murwillumbah.

Glen Innes Rotary Club member Graham Price said the ride will take in the best that New England and the Tweed Valley has to offer.

The ride will be fun, riders always make new friends and we raise funds for Mental Health Research for Australians living in rural areas,” he said.

“Along the way we enjoy the spectacular autumn colours and tree lined streets of Tenterfield on our way to Australia largest Granite Monolith, Bald Rock for lunch, we camp the night at the beautiful Aloomba Lavender Farm at Liston.

“Then we continue travelling along the Mt Lindesay Highway we start our decent down the great divide to Woodenbong located in the shadow of Mt Lindesay itself.”

Mr Price said the last day offers riders the chance to wind through the valleys of the head waters of the Tweed River. 

“This is a truly magnificent ride past Mt Warning and on into Murwillumbah,” he said.

“It is recommended that potential riders should be training a couple of times a week, building to be able to comfortably ride between 60km and 80km in a day prior to the ride. A group training ride is planned for Sunday the February 21 and it will leave from the Red Lion Tavern at Glencoe at 9:00am.  

“The ride is a 42km circuit taking in the back roads of Mt Mitchell and Glen Legh returning to Glencoe via the New England Highway. More information can be obtained from Greg Doman on 0459 999 461 or on the Glen2Conference Facebook page
