Riding more than 400kms from Wagga Wagga to Orange, an evening at the Cowra Services Club marked the end of two days of grueling rides.
Royal Far West CEO Lindsay Cain said it was important to connect to rural communities to spread the message about the services available to country kids at the facility in Manly.
“We’ve worked so hard to be here, Cowra is pretty important to us, this has been a pivotal community for us for a long time and we are very happy to be back in Cowra,” she said.
“We’ve had a strong with connection with Cowra for many, many years and Grenfell as well and we’ve had kids referred from Greenethorpe.”
On Tuesday, the riders made their way to Orange for a gala dinner to mark the end of the ride, with more than $500,000 raised so far.
