It’s been fantastic to see that despite all the economic doom and gloom that we’ve been faced with over the last year that bikers and families attending BikeWise who have bought a T shirt or a drink from the BikeWise stall or those that simply paid as they came in have not only secured the future for the 2011 show but have also allowed a range of good causes to benefit.
So from both the BikeWise team and on behalf of those good causes that will receive a cheque thank you all very much it really does mean so much!
