We’re thrilled to share the highlights of our recent Postie Bike Ride, which took place on the Grand Final Day public holiday. Adventure, friendship, and a shared sense of purpose made the day truly unforgettable.
Twenty Postie bikes gathered at Albert Park, ready for the ride. We meandered through the scenic streets of Port Melbourne before regrouping to tackle the iconic Westgate Bridge. With the heavy traffic in mind, our riders navigated the bridge with care.
After crossing the bridge, we made our first stop at the Little River petrol station, fueling up for the journey ahead. Spirits were high as we prepared for the next leg of the ride.
A well-earned coffee break awaited us at Eastern Beach in Geelong. The beautiful coastline and a moment of rest recharged our riders before we headed off to Queenscliff for a delicious gourmet BBQ lunch hosted by the wonderful Paul Sfetkidis.
Thanks to the generous support of Sea Road Ferries, both our bikes and support vehicles crossed from Queenscliff to Sorrento, where we regrouped for the final stretch. With a fuel stop at Tootgarook, we set off, enjoying the coastal breeze as we passed through some of Victoria’s most scenic spots—Rosebud, Dromana, Mount Martha, and beyond.
Our adventure ended at the Naked Racer, a historic motorbike café and museum. It was the perfect final stop, offering a glimpse into motorbike history while we reflected on the journey.
Our ride concluded at Wattle Park, Burwood, supported by Honda’s protective vehicles.
Together, we raised an incredible $50,450 for a great cause,
making this event a resounding success!
Thank you to everyone who supported us, from sponsors to participants. We couldn’t have done it without you!

Further Information
On Friday, September 27, 2024, get around the bay in a day on a postie bike to raise funds for The Male Bag Foundation.
Beginning in Melbourne, the ride will take participants through Geelong, Queenscliff and Portsea before finishing in Melbourne once more.
The $100 entry fee will cover your ferry ride from Portsea to Queenscliff, a delicious lunch, and a commemorative event hat. Additionally, those who need it can hire a bike for the day for $100. Participants will be responsible for picking up and returning hired bikes.
The Male Bag Ride 2024 is an excellent opportunity to meet like-minded riders and go on an adventure around the bay, all for a good cause. Our iconic annual postie bike rides have helped the foundation raise funds for special events, prostate equipment, and services to support the detection, treatment, and recovery of prostate cancer.
