Due to low rider entry numbers it has been decided that the 2017 Ride for Pain that was being planned for next Sunday 12 November will be cancelled<\/span>.<\/strong> This decision was not taken lightly, and is a first for Event Strategies in over 30 years of event management, but to proceed would have used people and resources from a large number of organizations that could not be justified.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s a message from Professor Lorimer Moseley:<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are very disappointed to announce that the 2017 Ride for Pain has been cancelled. Unfortunately we simply didn\u2019t get enough interest to make it a viable proposition this year. To those who had registered already – thank you so much for your support. To those who rode in previous years, thank you for your support. Although we are disappointed that we have had to take this step, we are also very pleased with the impact the Ride for Pain has had over the years. We are really chuffed with the engagement we have seen from businesses, from industry, from government and from the community. We have other projects that are moving us forward toward our vision of preventing and reducing persistent pain. You can check them out here:<\/p>\n

We really hope you have got something out of your Ride for Pain experience – we certainly have!<\/p>\n

Thanks again for your support,<\/p>\n

10\/12\/15 – Results for the\u00a0Inaugural Share the Pain Team Challenge<\/h4>\n

ReturnToWorkSA holds off the challengers in the Inaugural Share the Pain Team Challenge!<\/p>\n

About 4 months ago, ReturnToWorkSA put out the challenge to other teams in the Ride for Pain to ride the most vertical metres as a team. There were a good number of challengers but they all came up short. The Attorney General’s Department team came closest, 2000m behind. So a very big congratulations to the Return to Work SA team and its 20 riders. \u00a0Let’s see if they can hold on to their title next year! \u00a0The full stats are available here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

9\/12\/15 – Results for 2015\u00a0Ride for Pain True King & Queen of the Mountain Age-Weight Challenge<\/h4>\n

Sam Drummond squeezes home by ONE SECOND!\u00a0 Sam Drummond has defended his Ride for Pain True King of the Mountain Age-Weight Challenge, but only just. With a raw time up Coach Road of 9:20, a whopping 6:23 faster than his predicted time, he was a minute and half faster than the second place getter, John Allison. However, John\u2019s extra 15 years and 7 kg meant that he almost knocked the champion off, coming in 6:22 faster than his predicted time – one second behind Sam. Congratulations to both of you and we\u00a0look forward so seeing how it pans out next year!<\/p>\n

A shout out also goes to Lucy Bowden, the winner of the Ride for Pain True Queen of the Mountain Age-Weight Challenge. There were not many females but Lucy was the clear winner – coming home in 13:06, over a minute faster than her predicted time. Well done Lucy!<\/p>\n

The full stats for the Lucy and the top ten males, the method used to calculate the predicted times and the full predicted and raw times for all 62 who made it up Coach after 86km of Riding for Pain, can be found HERE<\/a>.<\/p>\n

We look forward to next year\u2019s True Kind and Queen – can Sam defend his title again? Can Lucy? Only time will tell!<\/p>\n
