It's time to hit the road! Scrapheap Adventure Ride 2014

Dozens of motorbike riders from all over Australia will this week set off on the fifth Scrapheap Adventure Ride to raise money for kids with Down Syndrome.

This unique event involves motorcycle enthusiasts from all over the country purchasing a bike for no more than $1000 and doing it up for an adventure ride through the Aussie outback, with the riders all sponsored by their family and friends.

Over the last five years the event has raised over $265,000 for Down Syndrome NSW.

Riders begin their journey at home or wherever they like but arrive at the same destination.

This year that destination is Nymboida in northern NSW, about 40km south of Grafton, where we will be from the 19th to the 21st of September.

If you’re not a rider, you can support the Scrapheap Adventure Ride and Down Syndrome NSW by sponsoring a rider or donating to the cause.
