One lucky sponsor of Andrew McLeod’s 2015 Redline Classic ride will win a Crows Indigenous Guernsey themed bike, hand made by global cycling giant, TREK.
Now in its fifth year, the Redline Classic is a three-day cycling event from October 19 – 21. This year’s ride covers 365 kilometres from Adelaide to the Barossa Valley and back.
A total of 33 riders will participate in the Redline Classic, with a goal to raise over $30,000 for the Adelaide Crows Children’s Foundation. McLeod will be joined by another Norm Smith Medallist and premiership player, Crows Development Coach Ryan O’Keefe.
The pair set off for the journey on Monday morning in what will be a hot start to the event, with a predicted top of 34 degrees for the opening day of the ride.

McLeod has teamed up with TREK to create a one-of-a-kind bike featuring the ‘swooping Crow’, design on Adelaide’s 2015 Indigenous jumper. The AFL great will ride the hand-crafted bike in the 2015 Redline Classic.
McLeod, who was involved in the design of the jumper, is hoping for 1,000 supporters to each donate $20 to his ride. At the completion of the ride, one lucky donor will win the unique piece of memorabilia. You can donate to Bunji’s ride here.
“I’d love to be able to give it to someone because it’s a really special bike, a bike that most people would ride in tours and it’s definitely worth a few bob, too,” McLeod said.
McLeod is aiming to reach a fundraising target of $20,000 to support the work of the Club’s Indigenous Program funded by the Adelaide Crows Children’s Foundation. He would like a portion of the money raised to be spent on donating bikes to Indigenous communities.
