The B2SC is working today to change tomorrow – to change the cycle of homelessness

According to the ABS Census of Population and Housing, there are over 19,000 people who have been left homeless in Queensland. In the words of the Commonwealth Government’s The Road Homewhite paper, “To reduce homelessness, particularly the numbers of people sleeping rough, it is critical that services work to end homelessness for their clients permanently.”

To this end, we are a nonprofit organization focused on bringing awareness to the crisis of homelessness and aiming to Change the Cycle.  We have created a great cycle ride called the Brisbane to Sunshine Coast (or B2SC), to raise much needed funds for The Shack Community Centre in the hinterland suburb of Nambour.

Our goal is to raise funds to build six new homes for the homeless in the region.

The ride was founded by Curtis Pitt and his wife Kerry to honour the memory of their daughter Isabel and aims to raise awareness and funds for Stillbirth and Neonatal Death Support (SANDS) Queensland, and support parents and families who experience the death of their baby before, during or shortly after birth. 

All proceeds from the ride will be donated to SANDS Queensland and will support counselling and bereavement services, as well as events like the ‘Walk to Remember’ being held in Cairns later this year.

Every year, hundreds of cyclists from around Australia and overseas are drawn to the city of Cairns in tropical Far North Queensland to saddle up for the Mount Franklin Cardiac Challenge.  The three-day, 333-kilometre ride attracts people from all walks of life, appreciating the opportunity to experience the dramatically varying terrain of Far North Queensland in a very “up close and personal” way.  From the leafy, sun-dappled Kuranda Range road, winding upwards through lush rainforest to the Atherton Tablelands, across rolling golden savannah lands and on to the shores of the sparkling Coral Sea at Cooktown.

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!

The FNQ Jungle Ride was created in the hope that it would encourage and inspire ordinary people, including children, and those with less athletic experience, to step outside of their comfort zones and challenge themselves, while at the same time helping to raise funds for these young people in urgent need of help. The ride caters for riders of all levels of ability and fitness including recreational cyclists right up to elite athletes.
