Riders will tackle a 14km, 40km or 100km track at the Act-Belong-Commit Dwellingup 100 on Saturday.

They will ride for someone living with muscular dystrophy to raise funds for Muscular Dystrophy Western Australia and support people living with the condition, for research and for community services.

Virginia from Dawesville is usually a triathlete. However, she will try her hand at mountain biking.
