The first peloton of the Tour de OROC 2025 group of riders arrived in Cobar yesterday just before 3pm and were greeted by locals, including the COOSH (Cobar Outside of School Hours Care) kids at Drummond Park. The cyclists rode 130km from Nyngan to Cobar yesterday as part of their 800km+ charity ride throughout the west. The biennial event raises money for the Macquarie Home Stay facility, which provides accommodation for rural and remote families needing to travel to Dubbo for medical treatment. After a town tour, dinner at the Cobar Bowling & Golf Club and, a well earned night’s rest, the cyclists will head off today for their longest leg, the 160km ride to Bourke.
