RESIDENTS will experience the sweet sounds and sights of scores of motorbikes riding into Point Cook next month.
As many as 1500 bikers will converge on the town centre on October 24 as part of the Pink Ribbon Ride.
The ride, which has already attracted interest from bike enthusiasts across the state, will raise more than $30,000 for the Cancer Council of Victoria for breast cancer research.
Point Cook Motorcycle Club secretary Marcel Gomperts is organising this year's event and said riders would travel from at least fifteen locations across Victoria, including Bendigo , Moe, Shepparton and Ballarat.
"Every rider pays $20 to enter and it all goes to the Cancer Council Victoria. We'll also raise money through donations and a raffle," he said.
Riders of all ages will arrive in groups at The Brook on Sneydes, Point Cook at about 11am to be greeted by a festival set including live music, motorcycle traders and other entertainment for adults and children.
Mr Gomperts, who has been riding motorbikes for most of his life, said the ride was the perfect way to combine a popular passion - motorcycling - with raising money for a good cause. "The Point Cook Motorcycle Club is a touring and riding club. We're in our early stages we organise rides to festivals, down the Great Ocean Road. and anywhere members would like to go.
