RodeRAGE

The Rode RAGE (Ride Against Greenhouse Emissions) Team is a group of enthusiastic students and volunteers who are interested in poverty, sustainability, bikes, mechanics, fitness, and science.

Throughout the year we compete in events such as the Wonthaggi Human Powered Grand Prix and the RACV Energy Breakthrough, but every now and again we create our own events.

Once we rode from Sydney to Ballarat in 24 hours, another time we rode all the way from Darwin to Melbourne (the whole 3775 km!). All the while we try to raise awareness and funds for various organisations as well as drawing the links between climate change, wildlife endangerment and extreme poverty.
