Riders can choose to participate in teams of 4 to 6 riders over a distance of 36km or 72km. Riders are encouraged to stay with their team mates and work together to the finish line.

The Fruitloop Ride can be as easy or as hard as you would like to make it: a gentle 50kms, a flat 115, with a few Dookie Hills thrown in, or a challenging 180kms with flat stretches and the climbs of the Strathbogie Ranges. Something for every rider and all abilities.

Funds raised by the Fruitloop Ride go to support Goulburn Valley Hospice Care Service Inc. and Rotary Projects.

The 2016 Fruitloop Ride will take place on Saturday 13th November commencing from Princess Park Oval Shepparton.

Enjoy and be comforted by the provision of:
