Motorcyclists and riders ready for charity Dice Run

WITH dozens of motorcyclists riding in the Mid North Coast Charity Dice Run on Saturday 21 February, organisers are hoping for clement weather.

The “Open to all Motorcyclists and Riders Charity Dice Run” is a favourite annual fundraiser hosted by the NSW Mid North Coast Harley Owners Group (MNC HOG).

“The current weather forecast is looking fine,” MNC HOG Director Justin Owens told News Of The Area.

This year all proceeds will be split 50/50 between the St Vincent de Paul run Pete’s Place drop-in shelter and hub in Coffs Harbour, and the St Thomas Hall Soup Kitchen in Port Macquarie.

Funds are raised through the proceeds of the dice game.

Each rider pays $20 for five throws of the dice.

Motorcyclists follow a prescribed course with checkpoints, rolling the dice at each stop with the result recorded.

At the last checkpoint a winner is determined.

Further funds are raised through the raffle.

Both Pete’s Place Manager Gai Newman and St Thomas Hall Soup Kitchen’s leader Rev. Daniel Berris will attend the presentation.

Northern Bike Riders are asked to register at 9am at North Coast V-Twins Motorcycles Coffs Harbour.

“We will do two Rolls of the Dice at V-Twins and depart at 9.45am heading for Urunga Ocean View Hotel where the third Roll of the Dice takes place.

The Southern Bike Riders meet and set off from Port Macquarie, and everyone heads to the Star Hotel Macksville for the fourth Roll of the Dice.

North and South riders then set off together to the Bowraville Sports Hub for the fifth Roll of the Dice and the event wrap-up.
