This weekend there will be plenty of deadly two wheeled bikes riding for charity and we love it!
The annual River to Reef bike ride raising money for the local CQ rescue chopper is a chance for thousands of people to ride for fun and raise money for an organisation that helps us every day of the year.
Over Saturday and Sunday there are rides around town, rides out on the highway, and rides that go for so long that you wish you brought a packed cut lunch and a swag. To everyone who is jumping on the saddle, we wish you well and I certainly hope all goes well. If you are doing the ride on an e-scooter, I hope you have charged it the night before and you have plenty of credit on your phone to pay for it. Do not forget to put the hard hat back and make sure it is parked in the right area.
One of the other grandiose things happening is on Saturday when the Mackay Hockey grand final is on. Hundreds of people will be down at Harney St to cheer on their favourite teams, but just so you know before you head down, I will not be playing. My team lost in the first week of finals so we will not be there on the pitch. You will find me at the bar. Come and say hello.
Finally, Sunday it is all about the dads of Mackay. Father’s Day will be an exciting time for kids to say thank you for all that dad’s do for their kids around Mackay and the Whitsundays.
You will want to get out of the house and go exploring after you open the boot load of presents you will get. Maybe drive up to Eungella and have a bite to eat at the Chalet. Maybe even have a swim at Finch Hatton. Then have a swim on the way back at one of a hundred or more swimming holes.
As you can see it is a busy weekend.
Enjoy it. I know I will. Oh, by the way, if my kids are reading this. I like chocolate. Especially chocolate that is bought from any of those shops at Canelands. There are heaps to pick from. Just saying.
You can join Rob Kidd from 5am weekday mornings on 4MK 1026 AM in Mackay and Proserpine, 91.5FM in Airlie Beach or just ask your smart speaker to play 4MK on iHeartRadio!
