Hello Makram,

I’m helping to drive registrations for (one of) Sydney’s best charity rides - The Bobbin Head Cycle Classic (the Bobbo), which will be held on Sunday 29 March 2020, and I’d like to invite you and your club to help us by spreading the word, recruiting riders and supporting their fundraising.

The Bobbo is owned and managed by the Rotary Clubs of Turramurra, Kuring gai, Wahroonga and St Ives. Since the first event 9 years ago this unique partnership of Rotary Clubs has raised over $800,000 for our charity partner Lifeline and other selected charities.

The Bobbo has a great reputation within the cycling community. There are four different routes which riders can select according to their abilities. Serious cyclists return year after year to challenge themselves on the longest rides, while social cyclists will enjoy the shorter routes. 

All the routes go through some of the most stunning bushland and waterfront scenery in the Greater Sydney region. Some 2,500 riders are supported by around 450 enthusiastic volunteers who, along with the Police, SES and St Johns, make it one of the best-organised and safest events on the cycling calendar. 

We’d really appreciate any help you can give us to provide maximum publicity for the Bobbo. You will find attached a flyer which can easily be included with your Club’s newsletter. Please also consider entering a team from your Club. Teams of five or more who raise over $1500 are eligible to access the Corporate Hospitality Marquee for free refreshments, snacks, beer and massage.

The funds raised by this terrific event helps Lifeline year after year to save lives through their Crisis support counselling. Please lend us your support for 2020 as we try to break through the $1 million fundraising milestone!

We look forward to your support and if you have any questions please give me a call. See too www.bobbo.com.au
