- **Event Name**: Central Coast Day Ride and catch-up with John Bussa
- **Event Start and End Date**: Sat, 07 Feb, 2026 at 11:00 pm
- **Event Description**: Those that have been with Ride Buddies for a long time, will know John Bussa and his lovely wife Tara, along with their family. A lot of you will be aware that John isn't a well man at the moment, more specifically, John is battling Stage 4 cancer, and our heart goes out to him, his wife Tara, family and friends. John has always been a larger than life character, known for his skills on the road, and more importantly, the size of his heart and selfless contributions to others, not for rewards, but because that's who he is. Join us at this event, to catch up with John, at his home at GreenPoint on the central Coast. 

Tara has said that both of them would like an invasion of friends at this event on Sunday 8 February, where lunch, beer and music, along with good company, will abound.

Please take this opportunity to catch up with John and Tara. Rides have been scarce lately, so I know of no reason not to come along. For catering purposes, be sure to mention if you are bringing along a partner.

Ride details:

Meet at the Bligh Park McDonalds at 9:00 for a 9:30 departure, travelling via Wisemans Ferry, Spencer, Central Mangrove, Kariong through to GreenPoint.

Please join us.

As an aside, I'd be remiss not mention the fund raiser on Johns behalf, created by Helga Purple Possum, and Justin Clark. The link for that fund raiser is:
