Noosa Strade Bianche

Post author By claire
Post date April 3, 2019

The Noosa Strade Bianche pays homage to the ‘golden age’ of cycling.

In the vein of the famed L’EROICA in Italy, Noosa Strade Bianche is strictly for steel framed cycles with downtube shifters (or bar-end shifters). As a celebration of the steel framed cycle, there is no restriction on age of the frame set.

NSB encourages the renaissance of the artisan-built steel frame taking place across the world.

Traversing the beautiful Noosa hinterland, the Noosa Strade Bianche – Grand Fondo is a modified course from 2018, a 144 km loop encompassing quiet country roads, stunning vistas and characterful country towns.

In keeping with the original L’Eroica, there are several imposing climbs & challenging descents, and of course many sectors of ‘strade bianche’; the ‘white’ or unsealed gravel roads. En-route, there are an assortment of cafes & bakeries, even a country pub or two, for those so inclined.

Take the time to enjoy the fabulous country vistas all along our 4 routes!

Outback Century Cycle

Post author By claire
Post date April 3, 2019

Do you have what it takes? You only get one chance every two years. 100 miles (160km) or 100 km – your choice of century! It’s billed as the toughest, flattest cycling event in the outback. On 28 September 2019, the Brodie Agencies/Ergon Energy Outback Festival Century Challenge takes participants on a metric (100km) or imperial century (160km) ride on a fully sealed road, starting and finishing in Winton. It may not be overly hilly, but what the ride lacks in physical tests, it more than makes up for in mental challenge.

So what’s the challenge you may ask? Out here there are no big climbs, there are miles of wide-open spaces and there are more emus than cars. The challenge is not just physical – it’s also mental! But once you get your head around the sheer vastness of this great outback land of ours, it will be an adventure you will cherish for life!
