The Gaza Sunbirds, a paracycling team in Gaza, have organised an International Big Ride for Gaza which is taking place in over 50 cities around the world this Saturday. We in the Big Ride for Palestine— Australia would like to include an activity in Brisbane to show our solidarity with this significant event.
It is being held this Saturday, 6th January. starting at 8 am.
We have created a 22 km loop through West End, the City, New Farm, and Spring Hill to create a high visibility activity along popular routes and city streets. You can see the route: here: https://www.strava.com/routes/3177845551885105408
STARTING and FINISHING POINT
The ride will start and finish at Bunyapa Park, (cnr Vulture and Thomas Streets, West End). Here is a link to it on Google maps: https://maps.app.goo.gl/v1CTU1EZWsEEqkPx8.
We expect the ride will take approximately 2 hours (including breaks for photos and coffee).
SHOW YOUR SUPPORT
If riders could wear their Palestinian jerseys or tee-shirts that would be greatly appreciated, to make sure we have maximum visibility. We have limited numbers of tee-shirts and jerseys available.
There is opportunity to donate to the Gaza Sunbirds through their website: https://www.justgiving.com/page/savegaza.
Please let us know if you would like to participate by return email.
