Tour de Brisbane

The Tour de Brisbane fundraises for the Amy Gillett Foundation by rocking on two wheels and celebrating our City on the bike.

This is cycle tourism at its best, featuring closed road rides and a fully supported cycling experience. Plus there’s heaps of supporting activities.

Celebrate, join a Ride Tribe, and be part of Brisbane’s growing cycling community. Have the ride of your life on Sunday morning at the Tour de Brisbane, then head out to the Anna Meares Velodrome with your newest friends and watch the pros at the Six Day World Grand Final.

The Tour de Brisbane is all about riding at your pace and promoting city safe cycling – whether you’re going for a pedal or going for the podium, there’s a group for you. And above all, get out, get active, and have fun!

Cycle for Life

Post author By claire
Post date February 25, 2019

The Cycle for Life Cycle Challenge is not a road race but a “FUN RIDE” and we believe is Auckland’s longest running charity road cycling event. The event has been organised and run by the Bucklands Beach Lions Club for the past 20 years and in the process has raised tens of thousands of dollars for children’s charities.

Raetihi Gutbuster

Post author By claire
Post date February 25, 2019

The Raetihi Gutbuster (April 21st, Easter Sunday) is a fun way to experience the scenery and history of the Raetihi – Pipiriki road that lies between the Tongariro and Whanganui National Parks.

Starting outside the Waimarino Museum in Raetihi, it’s an out & back course with options to suit most. The 18k has been completed by a 6 year old, even though it has a sharp 2k climb before the turnaround. The 50k is hotly contested by locals & out-of-towners, even though it’s a ‘fun ride’.

The road is sealed all the way.

The 25km ‘downhill’ option, is strictly limited to 20 riders, so don’t delay.
