Sunday 29 April 2012

Sunday 29 April saw UniSA's inaugural Ride for Pain. The day was an enormous success, with close to 550 riders taking to the streets of Adelaide to shed light on the frequently overlooked issue of chronic pain. Around 400 riders took on the 100km Adelaide Hills route, with many stepping up to overcome the aptly offered pain challenge, conquering much revered (or should that be feared?) Corkscrew Road - a 2.4km uphill climb with an average gradient of 9.4%.

Thanks to Fasta Pasta and UniSA, two lucky teams did not suffer in vain. Congratulations to 'Room 2 Move' and 'Lakes Triathlon Club' ' you'll soon be able to carbo load for your next big ride having won for yourselves 25 vouchers for a main pasta dish. The first 50 riders to reach the top also landed themselves a voucher for a complimentary main pasta.

Thank you to our major sponsors, GIO Worker's Compensation and WorkCover SA, and to everyone that donned their lycra at the crack of dawn to help raise awareness and research funds for chronic pain.
