Meanwhile, riders are invited to participate in the fourth annual Long Ride in November to raise awareness of prostate cancer.

The first ride in 2007 raised $50,000 for the Royal Flying Doctor Service while $249,000 was raised last year for the Prostate Cancer Foundation Australia (PCFA).

Riders from across Australia will head towards Sale on November 10 then ride together to Sydney with the ride ending on november 12.

Ride founder Christopher Dunne says there are many defence members riding in this year's event "as well as CEOs, general managers, managers, tradesmen and women, retired couples and my wife and me". It will cost each rider about $3000 to participate with most donating other funds raised. Visit www.freewebs.com/longride2010.
