Welcome to the Snowy Ride
The Snowy Ride is a motorcycle event run annually in the Alpine Region of NSW with the aim of involving motorcycle riders from all over Australia to raise money for Childhood Cancer Research. It is also an opportunity for riders to enjoy a weekend away with their friends and family and to ride some of Australia’s best and most picturesque roads.

Event Background
The first Snowy Ride was launched in 2001 as a request from Steve Walter, a young man who lost his fight against cancer. Steve loved motorcycle riding and asked that a charity motorcycle ride be organised to raise funds for cancer research and cancer care, “So that one day no other kid will have to go through what I’ve been through”.

The Web Site
The Snowy Ride web site will keep riders updated with the latest news and what is happening with the ride. You will be able to register online, book other events, and will be able to order merchandise. The Snowy Ride site is a secure site.

The date for next year's Snowy Ride is the 8th November 2008
