I’d like to thank the Committee for their tireless work organising the Event and the generous support of all of our sponsors.

Without their commitment, the Tour de Mo would not be possible. I also want to take this opportunity to pay special thanks to the following people:

Adrian Van Loon | Ride Bellerive

Adrian has been the backbone of the Event for all four Tour de Mos. He has provided colossal amounts of time, resources and financial support to the Event and his knowledge and efforts are critical in the ordering and delivery of the riding kits, obtaining event insurance and the police permit. On the day of the ride, his enthusiasm, expertise and mechanical support are critical to the Peloton making it safely back to Hobart. The Mo Riders cannot thank him and the team at Ride Bellerive enough!

Nick Dwyer and Drew Beswick

For their massive investment of time to make the Event happen. Whilst this was their first year involved in organising the Tour de Mo, their enormous contribution was pivotal to this year’s ride being such a great success.

Mel Blackhall and the team at Strive Foods

For providing hydration and nutrition for every Tour de Mo to date. • Renee Dwyer and Michael Dwyer for piloting and manning the mighty sustenance station down the Coast. There was many a rider on the brink on dehydration or bonking who hold you in a special place in their hearts. Renee’s Mo Banners, delicious cup cakes and huge levels of enthusiasm were a highlight of the day.

Pitt and Sherry

For their expertise in obtaining approvals and donating equipment.

Kif Webber and the team at Frank Restaurant

For hosting an exceptional function for our return into Hobart. The amazing food, beer and brilliant staff were an awesome conclusion to the Event.

David Mason and Pete Guiver from Mtn Trails

For donating Dale Barker to drive the infamous SAG Bus down the Coast. Dale did an outstanding job piloting the bus and trailer safely to and from Coles Bay. By all accounts his chants of “ONE - OF - US” as a rider fell off the back of the pack created a great atmosphere at the back of the convoy.

Budget Rentals

For again donating the SAG Bus for the weekend. • Slumber Shop & Foamcutters for donating foam offcuts to protect bikes in transit in the SAG Bus.

Anton Rosenzweig

For the Mo decals and for his technical assistance with the kit design!

Tommy Windsor

For leading the Peloton all the way to Hobart in the mighty Movember Mini.

Movember HQ

For their enthusiastic support and assistance on the day.

Kieran Ryan

For his passenger window acrobatics that resulted in some phenomenal photos of the ride.

Allison Turnock

For running around helping riders at every stop, buying them coffees and bakery treats, taking photos, being an excellent one (wo)man cheer squad and making her services available for first aid duties.

Simon Morey

For doing the best impression of Where’s Wally as he hung out of trees, clambered up rocky embankments and hid in ditches all day in pursuit of the perfect photo.

Alice Blake and John Blake

For capturing the day with brilliant photos • All of the family members and friends who made their way slowly down the Coast with the group cheering us on and providing paparazzi services.

Whilst the Tour de Mo may be over, the Mobart Mo Bros’ campaign to be the highest fundraising team in Australia is only just starting to shift into top gear. We are currently in second place and closing in fast on first position.

please hit up your friends, family and colleagues for donations, and on this
10-year anniversary of the Mobart Mo Bros let’s reach our goal of being number one! Thanks again to everyone involved.
