Ride For Life entry deadline extended

By John Kenny

Organisers of Saturday's Trust Ride For Life in Centennial Park, Sydney have extended the deadline for race entry until midnight Wednesday with the exception of the State Under 17 and under 15 championships.

The Elite, U23 and J19 race doubles as Sydney championship races, despite the mass start. The Elite race has attracted a top-quality field including Troy Glennan, Joe McDonnell (FRF-Caravello) and Malta international Dave Treacy.

The combined master's and women's race has also attracted a good field, including AIS women's rider Kate Nichols and her father, LA Olympic gold medallist Kevin.

The races take place on a closed three kilometre circuit and proceeds from the races and the corporate and fun rides go towards the cancer unit at Sydney's Prince of Wales hospital.
