Australia’s Richest Handicap Cycle Race

Cycling has been part of the Goldfields since the courier cyclists in the 1890’s carried messages around the Goldfields before the telegraph line came to the region. The 2019 Goldfields Cyclassic & Community Challenge will continue as a two-stage handicap race across the rich and historic landscape of the Western Australian outback from Kalgoorlie-Boulder to Menzies and on to Leonora.

Held over the WA Day long weekend the two-stage event will be run as two individual races. With approximately $20,000 in prize money up for grabs EACH day across a variety of grades this is a marvelous opportunity for both the professional and amateur rider.

Register today and come and experience outback hospitality and friendship and join in the fun and excitement of being part of this historic race.

For the second year running we are proud to announce that the Goldfields Cyclassic has been included in the Element Road Series. Anyone vying for points in the road series can add this outback adventure to their race plan.

Tim’s Ride is an annual event to remember Tim Anderson who was tragically killed when cycling in March 2012. It also aims to bring together all parts of the cycling community to improve cycling safety with an emphasis on visibility and interaction with vehicles. The aim is to appeal to all parts of the cycling community and all levels of cycling ability so there will be two different routes.

MACA Cancer 200: Ride for Research

Post author By claire
Post date May 21, 2019

No other ride is more community-focused, heartfelt or inspirational than MACA Cancer 200.

Entering its 8th year with a new name but the same commitment to ridding the world of cancer, the ride is life changing.

Over 1000 riders will line up to take on the personal challenge of riding 200km in two days to fight cancer and support medical research at the Perkins.

Unlike other rides, the MACA Cancer 200, is not a race. It’s an emotional, challenging, personal event where new people start as strangers and end as a family. All ages, sizes and fitness levels are welcome and everyone is considered a champion just for participating.

Look out for the flagged bike riders. They are riders as cancer survivors or patients. We ride for them and with them.

Remember, we ride to do something bigger than we could achieve alone, to strengthen our minds and bodies and to provide hope to people living with cancer.
