A loop ride today with forest and farm roads that get us to our morning tea stop at the magnificent Sealy Point Lookout. A break to enjoy the view and then it's downhill to our much anticipated annual school visit, this year at the fabulous Kororo Public School where we provide a safety talk to students around bike-riding, update them on the importance of the Westpac Rescue Helicopter Service, and enjoy the students checking out the bikes and asking questions of our ride team. That afternoon we head back to Reflections Moonee Beach along the scenic "old coast road" for gourmet BBQ night inhouse.

Day 4

Another loop ride from Reflections Moonee Beach, we head north to Woolgoolga and turn west into the fantastic forests of the Coffs Coast. Great tracks and forest roads today. Tonight is all about our end-of-ride presentaion night and dinner at the excellent Moonee Beach Hotel where we present our weekly awards, recognise the efforts of our riders and support team, and enjoy a few well earned drinks with those who have made the week so special. We'll also recognise our incredible sponsors, many who have supported the event for a number of years.

Day 5

Sunday 16 March

After our final in-house breakfast provided by our wonderful support team, we pack up and head home. For those who want an additional ride on the way home there are opportunities at Kempsey and Taree MTB parks but these are unsupported if you decide to stop off.

This will bring to an end to 2025 Westpac Rescue Helicopter Service Ride to Fly MTB event, a brilliant five days of incredibly well-organised riding and friendship, at the same time knowing you have helped the Service respond to over 1600 missions across Northern NSW each year by participating.
