Team BFC - 500km in 24hr

Kia Ora,

We're Brent, James and Matt - and together we're Team BFC!

We're three keen cyclists who have come together this year as a team for the 2025 5 Passes Tour in late November. The 5 Passes Tour consists of four days stage racing to cross the South Island from Christchurch to Greymouth and back. We're extremely thankful to have sponsorship backing from Bondor NZ, Cabin Centre and Fonko Airconditioning for our training camp and race (no surprises where Team "BFC" came from).

Together we have decided that as a thank you to our sponsors, and others who support our journey, we would love to take the opportunity to pay it forward and push our physical and mental strength to raise money for a good cause.

We have decided that on Saturday December 13th we will tackle a 500km bike ride with the goal of completing the ride within 24hrs. We have chosen to fundraise for Starship Children's Hospital.

Bikes are a major aspect of all of our lives and we strongly believe that every child deserves the opportunity to get out there on a bike!

Any donation is massively appreciated, no matter how big or small. We are extremely grateful for the support.

Shortly we'll post up our chosen route - we'd love to incorporate a loop 100km-150km loop at the end for others to join along for the ride! As we get closer to the big ride we will be sure to post further updates. If you see us out there training in our team kit be sure to give us a yell!

- Brent, James & Matt
