CLIMB Mt Keira as fast as you can
Cycle Events has just begun coverage of the Mt Keira event in Wollongong NSW. This event meets a new criteriua in that the trending expectations of Cyclists down under move onto more unique and niche styled events, and the Mt Keira Climb has an X Factor to it.
“Its all about the climb, and breathtakingly scenic vista finish as you overlook the greater city of Wollongong with views across the south of Sydney in the north to Kiama to the south.
Located an hour south of Sydney, and less than 5km from the heart of Wollongong you will be among the scenic peaceful mountain running or cycling and moments later can be having your favourite coffee at the beach.”
This event is organised by Robert Bottocchio who recognised the need for this style of event which fits very nicely into the overall cycling calendar. Rob is also the guy behind the very successful Aquathon Australia Day

[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]There are two rides this year The TOOMOO 220 and the inaugural MINIMOO 110
The 2016 TOOMOO 220 is not an event and certainly not a race, at 220 kilometres with 2,000m of elevation gain, the TOOMOO 220 is a supported group ride; designed to take you out of your comfort zone and test you like never before.
220k is a long haul in anybody’s language, we suggest you participate in some training rides to prepare and test yourself.
The 2016 MINIMOO 110 is limited to 50 only participants and will start with a bus ride for you and your bike out to Somerset Dam where you will join the 220 riders as they make the halfway point. We will then ride as a collective from Somerset to Mooloolaba finishing as one at the iconic Mooloolaba Surf Club right on the beach.
The MINIMOO has been created by popular demand to accommodate those who want to participate in all things TOOMOO but just don’t have the legs for 220 ks in a day[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_media_grid grid_id=”vc_gid:1462163911239-0248d4a9-e133-4″ include=”714013,714014,714015,714016,714017,714018,714019,714020″][/vc_column][/vc_row]
