Gold Coast CATS Cycling Club facilitated the Corporate Partners Ride for Microsoft Australia as part of their annual Australasian Partner Conference on the Gold Coast.

The partners were attired in Microsoft Windows 7 attire and split into two groups - One going leisurely for a 25km ride to the Spit. The other for a more robust ride to Coolangata.

Former Professional Cyclist and Olympic Gold Medalist Sara Carrigan led the group to Coolangata which proved a very popular ride with the pace steadily increasing to get back in time for the Partner event activities later in the day.

Club Captain and well known local rider Nathen Berghammer led the group to the spit  for what to some was an extremely challenging ride. A number of the riders had not touched their bikes since childhood and could not believe that they had travelled 25km under their own steam.

The ride met back at the Gold Coast Convention Centre where Photos were taken and Coffees consumed ready for a day of hard work.
