Sydney Gong Bike Ride 2006
The annual Sydney to Wollongong bike ride was a wet event this
year but raised vital funds to support those Australians living
with multiple sclerosis.
This year Unions NSW registered the 'Your Rights
at Work Worth Riding For' team
providing team members with free Your Rights at
Work t-shirts. The SCLC had set up a campaign
stall and provided refreshments at the finish line and the Your
Rights at Work Bus was also at the line to transport the weary
cyclists back to Sydney.
