Ride Options
Is it a Race?
We are proud to announce that Yes, we do have two event distances that are Auscycling sanctioned races – the 150km and 100km rides.
If you wish to be part of the race, you need to have a current Auscycling licence. If you don’t have a current licence, you can purchase a day licence for $10 when you register.
Please note that If you are taking part in the 100 or 150 distances and are not part of the race, your group will start a couple of minutes after the race to avoid interfering with the result.
