Fitzroy mall was awash with colour, as the riders mingled with lunchtime shoppers.
The six-day charity ride passed through Tingha, Tenterfield, Tabulam, Casino, Lismore, Coutts Crossing, Glen Innes, Bald Blair and Armidale before returning to Tamworth.
Along the way they estimate they have injected more than $15,000 into every town they stopped at overnight and more than $4,000 for their lunch stops.
The ride itself is about helping kids who are sick, disadvantaged or have special needs and included a number of donations.
This time around that included the donation or a wood fire oven and Carbide Router Kit to Peel High School.
"Peel High School students come from the local area and farming families who are struggling to survive in the drought affecting rural and regional areas of the country," Head Teacher TAS, Douangchanh (Nor) Chareunsouk-Hartley said.
