100's of cyclists stopped in Kiama today before continuing on their way to Berry for the final stretch of the Bondi2Berry ride. Spanning 155 kilometres, Bondi2Berry begins at Sydney’s iconic Bondi Beach and takes cyclists through an unique blend of coastal views, rolling hills, and lush greenery. Every year, cyclists take part in the challenging yet scenic Bondi2Berry ride, raising funds and awareness for dementia. The cyclists stopping in Kiama were greeted with a live band, refreshments and family and friends. Mayor Cameron McDonald attended the event, alongside event coordinators, and individuals supporting the ride.Cyclist Bruce Rayment and his wife Belinda enjoyed their second Bondi2Berry this year, with Belinda expressing how exciting it is to come through Kiama, the town she grew up in. "This is a very enjoyable pit stop, it's a bit more relaxed, by the time they get here most of the work is done … it actually feels like the town’s welcoming you here," says Belinda. Bondi2Berry will be celebrating its 10 year anniversary next year, with the event having raised more than one million dollars to support dementia research since its inception in 2016. Bondi2Berry proves it's more than a ride, it's an event that celebrates camaraderie and the stunning landscapes of some of Australia's most beautiful regions, all while supporting a great cause.
