Information for Registered Riders

Welcome to the Journey!

Dear ,

Welcome to the 2008 Great Victorian Bike Ride. You’re in for a fantastic adventure!

This is the first monthly Gearing Up email that you will receive in the lead up to the Ride. These emails will be packed with the latest information for you to help prepare for a week in another world!


The Great Rides Team (Nikki, Sarah, Adam, Kylee and Stewart)

 

Your Ride Confirmation Packs are coming early August

 

Your Confirmation Pack will be brimming with information about the special deals that Anaconda have on offer and the Anaconda Gift Cards for those who selected this option.

These Packs will be mailed in the week beginning 4 August 2008. We apologise for the delay in delivery of these packs and hope that you are excited when they arrive.

 

Changing your options – via Your Home Page

 


We’ve upgraded our Online System so now you can change all of your Ride Options via Your Home Page!

There is also a link on the Bicycle Victoria Homepage.

To login, you will need your Rider ID, which is xxx and your date of birth (dd/mm/yyyy) or email address. Here are a few pointers:

1. You may add or change your options until 14 November 2008 (or unless sold out).

2. If you upgrade, you will be charged the difference in price.

3. If you change to an option that is of lesser value, you will not be automatically refunded. Your confirmation receipt will outline the refund process. A $20.00 administration fee will apply to all refunds.

 

 Ride Merchandise

 

Check out the Great Vic Jersey – it’s a ripper! There will be a Ride Cap and Ride Polo available for purchase too. Designs will be available in the next Gearing Up. To secure your Ride Merchandise and make sure you get the right size, remember to order by 29 August 2008 as there will only be limited stock available on the Ride.

 

Halls Gap – Book your bed!

The Halls Gap community is excited to welcome us to their lovely town, nestled in the Grampians. The local sports ground will be our home for 2 nights. There are 3,500 beds in Halls Gap. Treat yourself and book yourself a bed.

Phil and Susan from Pheels Phantastic have a Rest Day Accommodation Package – so give them a call if you want a hand! Get in before 29 August for that Early Bird Accomodation Package prices.

 

Spread the word

Remind your friends that Rider Entries received before 31 July 2008 can get the ultimate Anaconda pack which includes a $140 gift card PLUS 40% discount voucher or save $100. Tell them to check out the early offers and sign up now, get their packs and remind them that they only have to pay a deposit on their Rider Entry to receive one of these great deals!

Bring the grandkids, Rick does! Send them the link to the Great Vic video to get them excited!

 

Volunteers

We are also encouraging Volunteers to apply for the Team by 31 July 2008, to secure a Volunteer Live Easy Tent and be included in the first round of Team Allocations.

Volunteer numbers are looking strong, we’re almost halfway there. So please encourage people you know who want to be part of a week in another world to apply today!
