Women on Wheels – AU

Post author By claire
Post date September 17, 2019

This is the seventeenth Women on Wheels ride conducted by Bicycle Network Tasmania (it was formerly known as Kate Tamayo’s Tour de Femme). Kate Tamayo was a well respected previous president of Bicycle Tasmania and an enthusiastic campaigner for encouraging women to experience the joy of riding. Women on Wheels is a relaxed 20km ride around Bellerive and the Clarence Foreshore Trail, a friendly social event for women of all ages. Note – Girls under 16 years must be accompanied by an adult.

The route is a mixture of offroad bike paths and quiet roads, and is an excellent opportunity for women who haven’t ridden on the road before to give it a go in a supportive environment.

Le Tour de Norfy Challenge, bought to you by Claremont Rotary and Variety – the Children’s Charity Tasmania, is a very scenic ride past hop fields, historic landmarks and of course takes in the fantastic Derwent River. Riders can choose a relatively flat course of 38km or 76km, or the quite hilly route of 106km which is considered by cyclists to be a real challenge. A great event growing in popularity each year with all funds raised going to local community projects.
