Fundraising Dinner
Postponed
With a heavy heart I have made the hard call to postpone the 2021 Ocean 2 Ocean Ride 4 MS till next year and along with it, the Fundraising Dinner. The uncertainty around border closures makes the risk of not being able to complete my ride as planned, too great and the current restrictions in Melbourne for indoor events makes the dinner very unlikely.
The Event
Before Jason takes on his epic adventure, there is
an epic evening planned,
Ocean2OceanRide4MS Fundraising Dinner
on Tuesday 17 August in Melbourne.
Join hosts John Trevorrow and Dan Jones with an all star lineup of guests for an entertaining evening going behind the scenes on the Tour de France and 2021 Olympics!
