President of the Southern Highlands Cycling Club and Rare Cancers Australia's community engagement manager, Zac Hulm said the day was outstanding.
"This year was an amazing success," Hulm said.
"The day was amazing, it's not just about cycle racing, it's about people experiencing something outside of their comfort zone, along with what it's like to be involved in a major cycling event and it's about people getting together in teams, looking after one another in a completely different format.
"Everyone having fun was the main aim of the day. I'd also like to thank Brad and Sharni McGee who give us their home at Twin Falls every year. "
This year was an amazing success.

The $80,000 raised could not have been done without all the participants of the day and Hulm couldn't be more appreciative.
"Because of the event it is, all of that money raised will be going into the bank," Hulm said.
"It's all about the rider experience because they give so much back in participation and fundraising.
"It's exciting to bring cycling to Rare Cancers. This is our second Ride4Rare event and they're only going to get better.
"Zac Marshall took out the fastest lap of the day. It was really exciting seeing the owner of Jet Black competing with his son and getting a number one podium.
"Rare Cancers Australia would like to thank all the riders which includes students from Scots Glengarry and Chevalier College. We would also like to thank all of the event sponsors."
