We have been invited to morning or afternoon tea at Dubbo Homestead Care Community (Opal Care, old Dubbo Nursing Home) in top end of Muller St.
It will be a chance for us to have a chat to some of the residents in the garden and show off our polished machines on the day.

I am thinking Monday 2nd Nov for morning tea from about 10AM. Will confirm details closer to the day.
If anyone is interested, please comment below or send us a message.
I hope we can get a few bikes to come along, they always love to see someone/something different.

If you have time and/or the need, please consider the Peer Walking Group run by Safe Haven in Church St, Dubbo.
It runs (walks) weekly at 9:00am on Thursdays from the Rotunda.
The purpose of the walking group is to provide an opportunity for connection, social support and gentle physical activity for people experiencing mental health challenges, as well as those who care for or support them.

We have been invited by Lewis at The Amend Project in Forbes to their League Mental Health round on Sunday 9th August. Their mission is 'Safer teams, safer communities' and are involved with many sports and teams across the Central West region.
They were awarded 2nd place in the Black Dog Ride Pitchfest, where they had an mental health idea that they 'pitched' to the National Mens Health Gathering in Brisbane late last year. They have produced many sporting items, depending on the sport, but have settled on the socks pictured below, along with their founder, Lewis.

The event is from 10AM at the upgraded Spooner Oval in Forester St and will include the Grand Opening of the new facilty.
I invite anyone that wants to come for a ride on the day to let me know below.
Meet from 7:00am, leaving at 7:30am from Inland Cobra St, Dubbo.
We would likely leave by 1pm to ride home.

We're saddened to share the news that Stan Single passed away on Friday following a massive heart attack.

Stan was our 2026 Dubbo Black Dog Ride Support Vehicle Driver and had signed up for future rides.

I met Stan when he initiated the Dubbo Motor Bike Rally. The event was Stan's 'baby' and I was honoured to be asked to join his committee that successfully delivered two street events - a first for Dubbo. Stan loved his bikes and rode in locations all over the world.

If you met Stan, you'd remember him. Jude and I feel privileged to have had such an honour and to get to know him over 8 or so years.

Stan's wife Joan - and life partner of some 55 years - passed 8 months ago and his heart was broken. We miss him already, as many others do, but find solace knowing that he and Joan are together again.

Rest easy Stan. 🧡

Rotary Club of Dubbo West Inc invited us to attend a meeting to share our mission and what we have achieved locally.
We were well received, with the many members in attendance asking some probing questions about how they can help, the Black Dog Ride Grants Scheme and more.
It was also a good opportunity to catch up with a few people that I hadn't seen for a while and make some new aquaintences in the bargain.

We are always willing to attend and share our experiences.

Thank you for the invite.

Jason Dearmer (Work Health & Safety Advisor - People, Culture and Safety) from Taronga Western Plains Zoo extended an invitation to see if we would like to talk to the team around how depression and su***de can be hard to discuss - especially in the work environment. The opportunity arose during their Men's Health Week events (15th - 19th June) and they were looking for a chance to share with staff/volunteers what Black Dog Ride is. We shared some stories coming out of previous ride events and talked about possible ways to support or get involved.

As long-time supporters of our local 1 Dayer ride, we were pleased to visit the zoo and spend time with some of the team during their lunch break. Time well spent. Grateful to Jason for the invite.
