Cyc'd for Bikes supports Smiddy Challenge

At the recent Cyc'd Cycling Club launch held at the Story Bridge Hotel our great friend and major sponsor Jaaron from Cyc'd for Bikes donated a set of C35 Dura Ace wheels to the club to use as we saw fit to raise money for the club charity Smiling for Smiddy who raise money for the Mater Foundation and cancer research.

This awesome set of wheels is valued around $1,800 and after a silent auction was conducted the wheels had a new home with Jason Boyd who snapped them up for $1,420. A great pick up by Jason and some seriously good money for cancer research.

The good news didn't finish there as it was decided that the money would be donated to the three Cyc'd guys who are participating in upcoming Smiddy events. These guys, Brad, Jenno and Craig are all training hard and fund raising their hearts out. When the guys were told that the money would be split 3 ways Jenno insisted that since he had already reached his target that the money should go to help Brad and Craig reach their targets. A selfless act but that is the sort of bloke Jenno is.

Of course none of this would have been possible without the generosity of Jaaron and Fiona from Cyc'd for Bikes so a huge thank you goes to both of them.
