The annual Tasmania Police Charity Trust Bike Ride has been held over three days in late November each year since 2007. In that time, it has raised over $800,000 for various charities and organisations across Tasmania.
Inspector Nick Clark from Western District Support Services said that participants include police officers and members of the public, and this year they will be raising funds for Heartkids Tasmania and Muscular Dystrophy.
"To further support the annual three-day ride, a 170 kilometre one-day ride will be held on Saturday 20 May 2023.
"The ride will leave Prospect from 7.30 am and the route will take the riders down the West Tamar area before they travel over to Holwell, Frankford, Westbury, Bracknell and Carrick before returning to Prospect later in the afternoon.
"The ride is fully supported with lead and tail vehicles to advise the public of the event, but the public are asked to be aware of the increased number of cyclists on the roads during the events duration," said Inspector Clark.
