Looking for a new challenge as her kids grew up, Goulburn’s Loretta Jones signed up for her first Variety Postie Bike Dash - and knew within 10 minutes that she had found her passion.
“I was so nervous at the start but almost immediately, I knew I had it. By that afternoon, I was telling everyone, ‘You’re going to be hearing about this for the next 12 months. This is my life’s purpose now!"
Now back for another ride, Loretta is embracing the adventure with her trademark giant pink pigtails stuck on her helmet and a growing community of fellow riders – including other women who are also looking for adventure.
Currently sitting sixth on the fundraising leaderboard, she’s rallied her local community through chocolate sales and Bunnings sausage sizzles, with generous support from local business, Trappers Bakery, who donated the bread to help keep sausage sizzle costs at a minimum.
For Loretta, the Dash is about so much more than riding a postie bike - it’s about finding your people, doing something unexpected and making a real difference.
