Local cyclists have ridden more than 150km from Beaudesert to Casino in memory of former Beaudesert man Pip Thorley, who tragically died in a car accident.

Kym and Phil Hyam, Jo Perry, Ken Ardrey, Matthew Lynam, Aaron Collis and Zac Cunningham took part in the annual Pip Thorley Memorial Ride on 30 April, setting out from Beaudesert Pool first thing and arriving at Casino, New South Wales, in time for dinner.

Fellow members of Beaudesert Bicycle User Group (BUGs), family and friends saw the group off for the iconic ride, which has had the support of many locals over the years.
