Major Sponsor

Macquarie

Macquarie Group is a leading provider of banking, financial, advisory, investment and funds management services. Our global operations include offices in the world's major financial centres. We combine entrepreneurial drive with deep industry and regional expertise and robust risk management. This gives our clients and investors confidence, and allows us to deliver innovative products and services and strong investment returns.

The Macquarie Group Foundation is one of Australia's oldest and largest corporate benefactors. It has contributed more than $A145 million to approximately 1,300 community organisations since 1985. Established to formalise Macquarie Group's community involvement program, it also builds and strengthens staff involvement and engagement in community activity in the many cities around the world in which Macquarie has offices. In the 12 months to 31 March 2011, Macquarie staff raised and/or donated $A10.1 million, which the Foundation matched in addition to its continuing grants to community organisations, taking Macquarie's total contribution to the community to $A27.8 million. In addition, Macquarie's staff provided many hours of support to not-for-profit organisations in a volunteer, pro bono, board and executive capacity.

Event Service Providers

Bicycle Superstore

The first Bicycle Superstore was opened in 1986, in Dandenong, Victoria. It quickly became an icon in the bicycle industry, with people from all over traveling to experience the huge range and great service we offered. To keep up with customer demand, we opened our second store in Nunawading in 1996. More stores have followed over the years with many stores now open throughout Victoria and over the border in NSW.

Today, our size and industry know-how enables us to buy the best products, from the best brands, at the best prices. Our mechanics are industry trained so you’ll be well looked after when your bike needs servicing and repairs. Every person, from the people we grant franchises to, the wholesalers we partner ourselves with, to the athletes we sponsor, the sales people and mechanics, reflect the ethics and morals that build our business culture. Ultimately, you have a group of enthusiasts who make their livelihood from sharing their passion for cycling. We were proud to be the official Mechanical Support provider to the inaugural Ride for Home last year and are pleased to be doing so again in 2011 to keep your bike running at 100%. Bicycle Superstore will also have a team competing in the 75km event – so we look forward to seeing some familiar faces out on the road.

Seight Custom Cycling

Since opening two years ago, Seight Custom Cycling Wear has used their premium garment quality and unparalleled customer support to establish themselves among the big players in the cycling apparel industry. Each piece of clothing is technically designed with unmatched precision.

Seight is always trendsetting, recently creating an online shopping portal to address the difficulties faced by team co-ordinators when handling cycling clothing orders for their teams and clubs. Each rider can now login to the Seight shopping portal and place their orders separately. Seight Custom Cycling Wear are the proud providers of the Ride for Home fundraising incentive jersey, for participants who raise $500 or more.
