Sunshine Ride raises $62,000 for Albury Wodonga Regional Cancer Centre

Organising committee member Steve Ballard said about 100 riders took part in the Albury Wodonga Regional Cancer Centre fundraiser on Friday and Saturday.

Most teams were based at Albury's Adrenaline Boxing and Conditioning, but other groups rode at gyms in Wodonga and Wagga.

Squads from Albury and Wodonga police stations were "just giving it to each other all the way through", with the NSW force claiming bragging rights over the team donation totals.

Mr Ballard was humbled and grateful for the community support as about 60 businesses contributed to the cause.

One team completed 657 kilometres but all the groups averaged about 600km over the 24 hours.

Everyone started the Sunshine Ride full of energy, but the dark night hours were harder.

"It's like, 'What are we doing it for?' and then you think what you're doing it for and it gets you through," he said.

"And then those last couple of hours it just goes whack, everyone just picks up."
