2026 MS Gong Ride

Fundraising Rank: 120 / 4,890

I'M RIDING 80KM THIS OCTOBER
THE DISTANCE FROM
Sydney TO WOLLONGONG

I'm taking the Challenge to fight MS!

On November 1st, I am taking part in the 2026 MS Gong Ride!
This year is extra special as the MS Gong Ride celebrates 45 years of riders coming together to support people living with MS and other neurological conditions. I can't wait to be part of this incredible legacy
Why am I fundraising?
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic and often debilitating disease which attacks the central nervous system. It is the most common neurological disease in young adults and often attacks people in the prime of their lives. Cases of MS are rising and over 37,700 Australians live with the condition.
Your support will help people with multiple sclerosis receive the vital support, treatments, and services to help them live well at home, remain connected to work, and be part of the community, becuase no one should face MS alone.
Thank you again for your support!

2026 …..a Gong ride with a southern flavour!

Tuesday 15th Sep
Last year was going to be the last Gong ride but Carol and I were persuaded to do one more ride …..it’s the 45 th edition so that was tempting. However Carol has had some knee/hip issues and so decided that this year was not meant to be!
So while she will still travel to Sydney as an Ambassador for the ride, I decided that as I had kickstarted my fundraising that I would do a solo Melbourne edition of the ride on Sunday 1 November….. so currently thinking about a scenic route that will have some bay highlights! 
Training has sort of started…..😆 my route may be a bit flatter than Sydney to the Gong….but I won’t have a bunch of other cyclists with me to pass the time! 

2026 and here we go again!

Friday 24th Jul
This is the 45th edition of the MS Gong ride and once again we are stretching out our muscles and clipping into the pedals, tyres are pumped and so are we! 
We’re going to be putting in the kms so that we are ready for the course that is never flat and saves some of its nastiest little rises for tired legs ! 

Thank you to my Sponsors
