What is the Challenge? The event is a social but challenging ride through the northern countryside of Tasmania on Sunday 27 March 2017 to raise money for the New Horizons Club Inc, which provides sporting and recreational opportunities for people with disabilities and Youngtown Rotary Club projects - Disaster Aid Australia Survival Box and the Asthma Foundation.
