Six days to support road safety

From Monday 23rd November to Saturday 28th November 2010, 27 intrepid AGF supporters rode from Canberra to Melbourne to support the new "A Metre Matters" road safety campaign.

The six day ride covered 830km including heading over the Australian Alps, taking in Jindabyne, Khancoban, Beechworth, Mansfield and Yarra Glen before finishing at Port Melbourne. Money raised from the ride went towards funding the AGF’s road safety campaigns aimed at decreasing accidents between motorists and cyclists.  The ride was also used to launch the AGF’s "A Metre Matters" campaign aimed at encouraging motorists to provide more space on the road for cyclists.

Riders included AGF Board members Simon Gillett, Duncan Murray, Stephen Hodge and Matt Pringle and a range of business and community leaders from around Australia.  A number of well known cyclists including Matt White, Dave McKenzie, Matt Tilley and cycling great Phil Anderson also participated in the ride, along with three Amy Gillett Scholarship recipients Amber Halliday, Carlee Taylor and Jessie MacLean.
