Soft Cogs Inc

2025 MS Gong Ride

20 years strong!

2025 will be our 20th year taking on the Gong. In 2006, we started off as a small team of mates who wanted to have a crack and see what we could do.

One year we even had over 140 members!

Most importantly, we have raised $1.6M for Aussies living with MS in our time - showing us it's the mum and dad donations that really count. 

Cheers to your favourite Hunter Valley team

Thank you to our Sponsors
