Kingston said they retired the Highland Fling MTB Marathon event last year and had one Final Fling where all event proceeds went to Save the Children. 

Following last year’s Fling, the event raised more than $60,000 for the charity of which Kingston is an ambassador.

This year, on  Saturday, November 10, the usual Fling weekend, there will be a Casual Fling and again the beneficiary will be Save the Children, specifically for its appeal after the tragedy of the recent Sulawesi Earthquake/Tsunami appeal.

A maximum of 50 riders will enjoy a short ride on part of the old Fling course from Bundanoon.

Riders will then be able to relax afterwards with pizza and beer donated by local businesses Bundanoon Pizza&Pasta and the Eden Brewery.

To sign up for the ride, people have to donate a minimum of $50 to Save the Children. 

The Casual Fling has already attracted plenty of attention with more than $2000 raised. 

Kingston said they hoped to reach $3000 by the day.

A run the Rolloff World Championships will also be held on the day, an event that was been part of the Highland Fling weekend for some years. 

The Rolloff is all about who can 'roll' the furthest on a set course without pedalling.
