The funds will be divided equally between Bear Cottage and The Kids Cancer Project, which assist families in their greatest time of need.
According to organiser Mel Everingham, the three day, 290-kilometre ride from Manilla went off without a hitch - and was accident free.
"The weather was freezing the first two days, but as Saturday came around it did get warmer the closer they got to home," Mrs Everingham said.
The 20 riders ranged in age from 18 to 72, and all did extremely well, considering the conditions.
The well-known Everingham family launched the fundraising ride in 2014 following the sad passing of their grandson/nephew Patrick Coombes.
People can continue to donate to the ride at www.rideforpat.com.au.
