Fortunately, nobody was seriously injured after an accident occurred during the first leg of the Soldier On Remembrance Ride.

However, the 20 riders were a little weary after they completed the 75km journey from Sydney to the Highlands.

Soldier On volunteer Adam Evans said the opening day was a success.

"It was the first time that we've ridden together as a team," he said.

"We had one crash, but everyone is fine - it's just part of the game.

"We had constant tooting and waving from people driving past. We had tremendous local support along the way."

The ride is led by coach Scott Sunderland and the group consists of current and ex-serving soldiers, and Soldier On representatives.

Mr Evans said the organisation helped wounded soldiers, both veterans and contemporary, to connect with the general public.

"Soldier On uses cycling as a means to aid their recovery," he said.

"We have six (in the group) who are affected by their service, with operational or stress-related disorders."

Mr Evans served with the army for 10 years, which included being deployed to Iraq and Pakistan.

He said Soldier On was a great cause to support.

"I've seen good friends suffer from the consequences of service, which in turn affects their family and the wider community.

"Our aim is to avoid, or to stop, suicides which affect everyone."

Mr Evans thanked McGee's Cycling Store, Bowral, for repairing the damaged bike.

The 320km ride concluded at the Australian War Memorial in Canberra yesterday.
