On Saturday, December 7, up to 100 riders of all descriptions will muster at the Salvation Army in Goonoo Goonoo Road for a leisurely bacon and egg sandwich at 8.30 am.

Then it's off with a roar for a ride past Keepit and Manilla to return to Victoria Park at the top of Piper Street where they will host a family fun day for all of Tamworth from 11 till 2pm.

The trains will be operating.

There will be a jumping castle, raffles and sausage sizzle and all proceeds go to the Salvation Army.

You'll need closed shoes for the train, but take them off for the jumping castle.

Ulysses is a social club for motorcyclists over 40 years of age.

Their motto is "Grow Old Disgracefully".

Tamworth branch president Graham Brown says "what we are hoping to achieve is a lot of small gift cards that can be distributed to people in need.

"Some communities have really suffered.

"The Salvation Army is trying to put something back into families and we want to help them.

"Donations of money and gifts will be gratefully received either at the Salvos at 8.30 or Victoria Park at 11. We encourage families to attend."Captain Dean Clutterbuck agrees.

"Imagine a father who has to stand in front of his family and say, 'I'm sorry kids, we won't be able to do Christmas this year.' I want to make sure that never happens.

"For veteran cyclist, David Quick, it recalls Jesus' words, "Love one another as I have loved you."

"The Salvation Army lives by that", he says. "And I want to live by it too."
