Elwood Lifesaving Club to Black Roack Return – John’s last ride.

There will be a memorial ride leaving from the car park behind Elwood Life Saving Club at 10am on Friday morning.

A Tribal vehicle will lead the riders out – representing the many years John spent training with the club.

A Tri Alliance vehicle will follow the riders – representing the last months of John’s life that he spent coaching and training with the Tri Alliance Squad.
