There’s something special about being part of an event that brings together passion, determination, and friendship. That’s exactly what we experienced while proudly providing coffee and toasties at the 60th Anniversary Tom Quilty National Championships 160km Endurance Ride, held in the beautiful surrounds of Imbil, Queensland.
As riders, support crews, volunteers, and spectators gathered for one of Australia’s most respected endurance riding events, we were honoured to help fuel the day with fresh coffee, delicious toasties, and plenty of friendly smiles.
Keeping Riders and Support Crews Energised
Endurance riding is a true test of stamina, horsemanship, and perseverance. Long before the first riders crossed the start line, the grounds were already buzzing with activity. Early mornings and busy schedules called for quality coffee, and we were ready to deliver.
From steaming cups of barista-made coffee to freshly prepared toasties, it was rewarding to see competitors, families, and volunteers stopping by for a well-earned break. Whether they needed a pre-race caffeine boost or a satisfying bite between checkpoints, our goal was simple—provide great food and coffee that helped keep everyone going.
More Than Just a Race
What stood out most throughout the event was the incredible sense of community. The Tom Quilty has long been celebrated for bringing together riders from across Australia, and the atmosphere at Imbil reflected exactly that. Conversations flowed over coffee, friendships were strengthened, and countless stories were shared around our service area.
Being able to contribute to such a welcoming and supportive environment reminded us why we love serving at community events. It's never just about the food and drinks—it's about being part of the experience and helping create memorable moments.
