More than 200 riders made their way to Bernard Park on Sunday March 18 to kick off the Black Dog Ride’s 1-Dayer event throughout the Avon.
Riders were treated to a barbecue by the Northam Lions Club before a police escort out of town on their way through Goomalling and Wongan Hills before finishing the ride in Toodyay.
Black Dog Ride's iconic annual 1-Dayer aims to start a national conversation about depression and suicide prevention.
Since 2010, Black Dog Ride's 1 Dayer has brought together Black Dog Riders for an enjoyable and meaningful day of riding, uniting like-minded people for a vital mission - raising awareness of depression and suicide prevention.
Eight Australians take their lives every single day.
Black Dog Ride is uniting together under one banner with one voice on one single day to amplify a national message of mental health awareness and suicide prevention.
Black Dog Ride began in 2009 as one man's ride to raise awareness of depression, developing into national suicide prevention charity involving thousands of Australian motorcycle riders who've raised over $2,500,000 for mental health services, fostering mental health awareness around the country.
