THE ROADS. THE GLORY. THE BANTER.

A NEW TAKE ON THE TRADITIONAL EUROPEAN RIDES.

We’ve taken what we think are the best elements of a Gran Fondo style race and transplanted this format in to the winterless Sunshine Coast. Fantastic roads and routes, managed roads, King of the Mountain and Sprint stages, all combined with a perfect riding climate and sublime scenery. Off the bike every ride starts and finishes in and around the Maroochydore area, with a dedicated Velo Clubhouse right on the river at Cotton Tree Park, Maroochydore. Open throughout each day and in to the evening for riders, friends and family to relax and share in the experience.

THIS IS WHY WE RIDE…

TOOMOO 220 is not an event and certainly not a race, at 220 kilometres with 2,000 meters of elevation gain the TOOMOO 220 is a supported group ride; designed to take you out of your comfort zone and to test you. 220k is a long haul in anybody’s language, consequently we suggest you prepare and test yourself well prior; at the very least you should have a 150k ride under your belt this year.
