Tributes are flowing for a respected Tamworth dentist who died in a bike accident on the coast on Saturday. It’s understood Richard Wise died while out riding his bike near Scotts Head. Mr Wise was well-known in Tamworth, where he had his Happy Smiles dental practice. He was a keen cyclist and one of the organisers behind this year’s charity ride, Pedal the Peel. Mr Wise had just completed the Ride for Fuel 2017 charity ride across 760km through the Snowy Mountains in April, and also completed fundraising rides for the Westpac Rescue Helicopter. Mr Wise was a very active member of the Rotary Club of Tamworth Sunrise and St Peter’s Anglican Church. Tributes for Mr Wise to follow.
