Nicola's latest bike riding updates
Our managing director, Nicola Rutzou has recently
caught the cycling bug. In September last year, Nicola decided to purchase
herself a road bike despite having hardly ridden a bike since her teenage years.

Nicola has taken on challenge after challenge as she continues to use her new
found love for riding to raise money for charity.
On Saturday, 17 January 2009, Nicola and her sister-in-law Tina Rutzou took
part in the 80 km bike ride in the Barossa Valley, South Australia. All
participants had to raise $3,500 for Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF)
to participate. Nicola successfully raised the money and completed the ride in
just over 3.5 hours.
On Saturday, 7 March 2009, Nicola and Tina once again stepped up to the
challenge and participated in the 'Gear Up Girl' 50 km women's bike ride from
Cronulla to Homebush. The event raised money for the Oncology Children's
Foundation.
