Team Icehouse are on their bikes

Staff and friends of Medibank Icehouse are calling on fellow bike-loving Docklanders to join their team in the upcoming Just Cycle Yarra Valley on Sunday, March 20.

Raising funds for Jesuit Social Services, Just Cycle Yarra Valley features three different courses including the 120km challenge featuring a timed climb of Mount Donna Buang, a 65km endurance ride and a 12km recreational ride.

General manager of the Medibank Icehouse, Darren Walls, explained the motivation behind his staff’s support of the event as “this event raises funds for an organisation that works with the most disadvantaged and at risk people, families and communities.”

“It will be a fun day for the entire team taking part and I would love to see other people who work within the Docklands precinct to get involved and join us for a fantastic day out riding, enjoying all that the Yarra Valley has to offer while supporting a great cause,” Walls said.

There are activities at Rochford Wines throughout the day, including entertainment and children’s activities that culminates in a live concert in the afternoon.

Both Mr Walls and event ambassador, former premier Steve Bracks, have registered for the 120km challenge. For full event details, visit http://www.justcycle.com.au
