Our next challenge is to continue our push for Mark Textor education of both drivers and cyclists about the new laws and the frequent and equitable enforcement of Chair these laws based on propensity to do the greatest harm, namely motorists. Evidence remains crucial in our pursuit as we continue to commission research with our partners to provide the basis for our safe cycling policy positions and campaigns. To this end we are delighted that our board member Rod Katz was recently appointed to the board of the ACT Road Safety Fund. This year we remembered Amy, ten years on. These memories drive us all at the Foundation in pursuit of our vision of a fatality and serious injury free environment. Amy’s Gran Fondo set a new record of 5,750 participants, no doubt bolstered by the UCI Gran Fondo World Championships being held in Perth later this year. This year the annual Share the Road Tour travelled from Sydney to Canberra, raising awareness of the need to share the roads and all be safe together. We were honoured to be joined on the last leg of the Tour into Canberra by the then ACT Minister for Road Safety, the Hon Shane Rattenbury, to celebrate ACT’s commitment to cycling safety with the introduction of a trial of a metre matters laws.

Our 30 riders including weekend cycling enthusiasts, former professionals like Brad McGee, Phil Anderson and Rochelle Gilmore, Orica-AIS rider Gracie Elvin and Rachel Neylan plus AGF Scholarship holder Kimberley Wells. AGF Chair Mark Textor was joined by AGF Board members Rod Katz (on his first tour) and Matt Dimattina who has participated in every Tour.

Another big thanks to Rachael Kininmonth our energetic and enthusiastic ride manager; our ride leaders Phil Anderson, Brad McGee and Mark Padgett; and to our volunteers, masseurs Kate Sidebottom and Alyce Homes. Once again Adam Bennett from the Picture Machine recorded the entire event and produced our daily highlights videos in time for dinner each night.

Everyone made it to Canberra after some challenging and hot days on the road, producing some great teamwork, irreplaceable camaraderie that forged lifelong friendships.

Tour highlights—Matt Dimattina, AGF Director

I was really impressed by the proximity and beauty of the Royal National Park just south of Cronulla which made for an unexpectedly picturesque and enjoyable first half of day 1. Brendan Cato was the chef that prepared the feast on the first night at Brad McGee’s home at Fitzroy Falls and it was a cracking meal (although I’m not sure the lentil salad was appreciated in the peloton the next day).

Climbing Macquarie Pass and staying at Brad McGee's place in Fitzroy Falls. Then there's was a bit of gravel, and perhaps a bit more… thanks Simon! Riding over the mountains near Kosciusko when we got hit by the biggest rainstorm ever, seriously looked like the mountains of Mordor. Then a bit more gravel heading into Canberra where the ACT roads minister met us and escorted us into town on his bike, telling us how important a metre matters was to him and the ACT.

Wiggle Amy’s Gran Fondo – the Great Ocean Ride

With the second year of support from Wiggle, Amy’s Gran Fondo had a people’s peloton of more than 5,750 bike riders over the Great Ocean Road on Saturday September 13 – all in the name of cycling safety. The record field assembling for the fifth edition of the Wiggle Amy’s Gran Fondo, in support of the Amy Gillett Foundation was provided with a once a year opportunity to ride on a fully closed Great Ocean Road. The result was a record number of event entries across the three distances – an 18% increase on the previous year. Continued growth saw 30% of participants coming from interstate, emphasising the allure of the Great Ocean Road as a cycle- tourism destination. New events were also added to the program including a women’s Cycling Australia National Road Series one day event – Amy’s Otway Classic, and Amy’s Wall hill climb, staged in conjunction with CyclingTips. The event also benefited from the participation of guests including Charlie Pickering and Eric Bana. Fundraising riders raised almost $50,000 which together with event proceeds, provides vital funding for the Amy Gillett Foundation to achieve its mission of improving safety for bike riders across Australia.

Amy’s Ride SA New South Australian cycling laws introduced in October this year have encouraged greater rider participation in this year’s Amy’s Ride SA. More than 2,000 people participated in the event, riding from 12km to 125km and raising over $15,000 for the Foundation. This unique event freed up the entire Southern Expressway to allow riders of every age and experience level to set their own challenge and to celebrate both individual and shared achievements. Upon completion of the ride participants gathered at McLaren Vale’s Serafino Winery, where discussion about the State Government’s new cycling laws was widespread.

The most topical of those laws is motorists having to allow at least a one metre gap between their vehicle and a cyclist.

Amy’s Big Canberra Bike Ride

More than 1,300 riders took to the heart of the city in Canberra’s biggest mass participation cycling event, Amy’s Big Canberra Bike Ride in conjunction with Pedal Power, with families in particular riding together in support of safety and health. Riders had a choice of 5km, 20km 35km 68km and 120km distances. Anna Meares, in her first public appearance since winning her 11th world title in Paris, attended to sign autographs and chat with children. Meares was the main attraction on the 20km route and was full of praise for cycling in Canberra. Safety is paramount to the Foundation, and this attracted many new riders to Amy’s Big Canberra Bike Ride. Over $20,000 was raised to help us deliver our new “Cycle Safe Communities” program into local Canberra communities.

Toll re-signs at Easter campaign

Foundation sponsor Toll Group signed another 3 year sponsorship with the Foundation prior to Easter, 2016 which coincided with their Road Safety campaign launch. Cyclists and Toll truck drivers alike came together in Ballarat as the Amy Gillett Foundation cautioned for safety on our roads this Easter holiday period through its ‘a metre matters’ campaign. At the launch of their 2016 Easter message in Ballarat, Toll pledged its ongoing support for the campaign while announcing that it is extending its partnership with the Foundation. “Toll is a proud partner of the Amy Gillett Foundation and is delighted to be continuing our association with the Foundation and their key road safety campaigns such as a metre matters,” said Mal Grimmond, Divisional Director of Toll Domestic Forwarding. “Toll spends more time on Australian roads than anyone else so road safety is our top priority, so we are passionate about spreading the Foundation’s safety messages. Everyone deserves to get home safely” In addition to financial support over the next 3 years, the partnership will see increased safety education for Toll drivers around cyclists (as its drivers in Ballarat received today), and ‘a metre matters’ branding will feature on many new Toll vehicles over the term of the partnership. The Amy Gillett Foundation greatly appreciates the support from Toll. “The Foundation receives no ongoing government funding so the support of key partners like Toll is crucial in our capacity to continue our efforts to make cycling safer in Australia,” Phoebe Dunn, CEO Amy Gillett Foundation added.
