From the Ridden on website...

Due to the unanimous support and encouragement of this event since 2007, we will hold this years event on Sunday 9th April 2017. Beginning in 2014, we changed the date to April to hopefully avoid hot weather and improve rider comfort.

For those unable to ride and wish to participate, cars are more than welcome to follow the riders. This will also allow those who do not ride to join in the event. Please advise an organiser on the day if you have a car. Please tell your friends and mark it in your dairies.

The Ridden-On Ride will mob up at the Victoria Hotel Car Park, Main South Road, O'Halloran Hill from 8.30am for a 10.00am ride off. Please check the ride details available from the samrats upcoming rides page for the most current information. Please be ready to move your machine at exactly 10.00am so as to ride in a group as we exit from the car park. We gather at this location to remember Wendy Van Gasteren and TJ Maxwell who collided at O'Halloran Hill. Their demise sent ripples through the riding community and many riders demanded we remember them.

Phil McClelland will be reading out the names of ridden-on riders (which is not the list of people attending the ride). If you want a name added to the list, send their name in an Email to Phil (president at mrasa.asn.au - substitute @ for at) or text their name to 0408 607 788.

The group will ride to Second Valley and park under the trees near the caravan park. Take care when parking under the trees at Second Valley, the ground can be slippery from the fallout from the trees. There is a short walk for those wishing reflect by the seaside, to say a prayer and remember those who are precious to us all, including those who have ridden-on. This is a lovely location to remember those who are no longer with us.

Many will then ride the Delamere Road to Victor Harbor where we hope riders will share memories and remember better times with other riders. We hope to have ministers and counsellors available if anyone needs to "talk".

Proceeds - We are pleased to announce that the Royal Flying Doctor Service will receive the proceeds from this years event. Please note: You do not have to ride the event to buy a badge. There are a limited amount of badges available, so make sure you arrive in time to secure yours.
