Invite to ride in AUSTRALIA
Hi all its been a long time since I posted on here. When I was organising My trip to Africa in the mid 2000s, this site was a god send, so much help and info I don't think I would have actually done trip with out Horizons Unlimited.
Since coming home from My time OS, life has sort of taken over.
My reason for writing is Im now in a position to do more for charity. With My family and friends Im organising a RIDE ACROSS AUSTRALIA calling it PAMS MC RIDE. PAMS stands for Perth, Adelaide, Melbourne, Sydney. Ive got My inspiration for the ride from Winifred Wells, who as a 22year old in 1950 rode a Royal Enfield 350 Bullet from Perth in Western Australia to Sydney in New South Wales. Winifred took 21 days to travel some 5,500 miles, about 9,000klm. Given the roads at the time it was a mighty trip, even today some people have concerns about a trip of that sort. Winifred is still living and resides with one of her daughters in Victoria, Australia. The PAMS ride will be raising funds for Guide Dogs and Where wanting to raise aus$105,000 which will bread, raise, train and match 3 Guide dogs to 3 people with vision loss. For costs, how to donate and more info We can be contacted at pamsmcride@gmail.com. Our Web site will be up and running soon. Ill be leading the ride on a Royal Enfield 350 Classic. For those that enter a prize of a NEW ROYAL ENFIELD 350 is on offer. All the best regards Brian (Beetle) Bayley
