Bikers & Coffee is bringing riders together for a simple purpose: support bushfire-affected towns and raise funds for people doing it tough. If you can’t make the ride, you can still support the cause by donating anytime via the GIVIT link/QR code.
Ride to Recover is a community ride where we aim to:
• Gather a large group of motorcycle enthusiasts and ride to a bushfire-impacted town (or nearby)
• Spend locally on coffee, lunch, fuel, and supplies to help small businesses recover
• Raise additional funds via our GIVIT donation link/QR code before the event and on the day
Fundraiser (GIVIT)
All donations go through GIVIT to support vulnerable Australians impacted by the 2026 Victorian bushfires. GIVIT works with a large network of charities to match donations to real needs on the ground.
How you can help
• Join the ride and spend locally
• Donate via the GIVIT link/QR code (any time leading up to the event, and on the day) https://fundraise.givit.org.au/fundraisers/BikersCoffee/bikers-and-coffee---ride-to-recover
• Share this event and QR code to help spread the word
Event details
• Date: March 21
• Ride info, meeting point, route, and destination will be posted in event updates closer to the date, once things have settled and we can identify which communities have been impacted the most and where support is needed most.
What to bring
• Full tank, water, and weather-appropriate riding gear
Important notes
• This is a free community ride – all bikes and riders welcome
• Ride within your limits, follow road rules, and ride respectfully
• Be respectful to locals, venues, and staff – we’re there to support the community
• Participation is at your own risk. Bikers & Coffee is not responsible or liable for any accidents, injuries, losses, damages, fines, or incidents that occur before, during, or after the ride. Riders are responsible for their own behaviour and must ride legally and safely at all times.
Thank you for supporting recovery towns and helping Australians in need through GIVIT.
