The 2023 MS Brissie to Bay bike ride was nothing short of
exhilarating. Kim volunteered at check point Wynnum foreshore, she had the
pleasure of cheering on and supporting the riders as they made their way
through the scenic and challenging route.
With the station all set up, she eagerly awaited the arrival of
the riders. It was a beautiful day with clear blue skies and a refreshing
breeze, perfect for a long bike ride. And soon enough, the first batch of
riders appeared on the horizon, pedaling with all their might towards the check
point.
As they approached, she greeted them with enthusiastic cheers and Comlink
volunteers handed out some much-needed sustenance in the form of buns, bananas,
and water. It was heartening to see the riders' faces light up with gratitude
and appreciation as they refueled their bodies.
But it wasn't just about the food and drinks, her primary role
were to help the riders keep on course. With so many participants on the road,
some of them may have lost their way, especially if they are not familiar with
the area. So, she made sure to point them in the right direction and keep them
motivated throughout their journey.
She also had the opportunity to connect with many riders and hear
their inspiring stories about why they chose to participate in this challenging
event. Some were doing it to support their loved ones who were living with
multiple sclerosis, while others simply wanted to challenge themselves and push
their physical limits. Whatever their reasons, it was evident that everyone was
committed to making a positive difference in the world.
It was a long and tiring day, but the energy and excitement of the riders kept me going. And when the last rider finally arrived at the check point, exhausted yet triumphant, it was a moment of pure joy and elation.
Of course, none of this would have been possible without the
tireless efforts of the volunteers and organizers who worked behind the scenes
to make everything run smoothly. From coordinating water stations to ensuring
that the course was safe and well-marked, they deserve a huge round of applause
for their dedication and hard work.
Overall, the 2023 MS Brissie to Bay bike ride was a resounding
success, and she felt proud and honored to have played a small part in it.
Seeing the riders cross the finish line back at Musgrave Park, with beaming
smiles and a sense of accomplishment, was truly a sight to behold. She can't
wait for the next one!
