Queenstown, Otago

All of us in Central Otago are aware of how isolated we are from vital life-saving hospital care and often people need to be choppered outside the region to save their lives. The Westpac Chopper Ride - 245km cycling from Queenstown to Invercargill aims to raise $100,000 towards this vital service.

Please support me and the other riders in this mission!

Thank you.

Westpac Chopper Appeal Bike Ride 2023  22 May 2023

Hey great people! Well, it is just over a week since we completed the 245 km from Queenstown to Invercargill (via Gore!). It was definitely cold but a great day, stopped at a number of schools along the way. The kids were amazing and we took some of their enthusiasm and energy away with us. What a great cause for our region. Thank you to all of you that donated and helped. Also to the great volunteers and police escort that made it possible. I was tired at the end but actually bounced out of bed the next day OK. Very grateful. Best Ray
