So what cycling events do you have planned for July?
July is pretty quiet with no planned rides until the middle of month. Being winter, most of these rides are in sunny Queensland.
In Western Australia, you’ll also find the Element Road Series, which is 3-4 series fondo or race. The second round is in through the challenging hills of Gidgegannup, where you will scale the heights of the Eagles Nest, and finish with a rewarding treat from the well-known Gidgegannup Bakery.
In Queensland, the month starts off with the Velethon Sunshine Coast. This is a great excuse to escape the winter cold and to get in a weekend of cycling around Maroochydore.
If you’re looking for a challenge, then the Rathdowney Rumble along the McPherson Ranges, inland from Brisbane and the Gold Coast, might interest you!
Around Brisbane, the Tour de Logan is a 1 day ride with multiple distances through Logan, south of Brisbane.
In the far north you’ll find 2 charity rides. The Townsville to Cairns Bike Ride is held over 3 days, whilst Ride for Isabel is a 1 day ride south of Cairns.

CTK or the Cairns 2 Karumba Bike Ride is a challenging 7 day cycling adventure across North Queensland from Cairns to Karumba.
This annual ride has been running for over 20 years now, with 250+ riders, volunteers and support crew travelling together through the unique and historic outback towns of the iconic Savannah Way, in Far North Queensland.
This charity ride raises money to help bush children with a different beneficiary chosen each year.
Over 7 days you’ll be riding 780km, with either the Road Ride or the Dirt Ride. You’ll be riding from Cairns – Atherton – Mount Garnet – Mount Surprise – Georgetown – Croydon – Normanton – Karumba.
With the 7 day Road Ride, you’ll be riding between 78 to 150km each day.
The 7 Day Dirt Ride is suitable for experienced mountain bike riders with high quality, well serviced bikes, and will challenge the most hardy of skilled riders with long, corrugated and sometimes sandy and dusty terrain. You won’t be riding by dirt the whole way, but the organisers do their best to maximise dirt time. This is a popular ride and you will need to complete an Expression of Interest Form (first in, first served allocation of positions).
This looks like a fantastic event and is one to definitely add to your Bucket List

more
Velothon Sunshine Coast is an annual gran fondo style cycling event that is held on the Sunshine Coast each year. Held during winter, it is a great opportunity to visit this popular tourist location and escape from the winter cold to warmer temperatures.
You can participate in either the 3 Day Velo with a distance of 330km (5,379 of climbing), riding either solo or as a team. Or you can ride solo in the 1 day Velo, riding either 137km (2,508m of climbing) or 76km (1,718m of climbing).
This event starts and finishes at the Velo Clubhouse at Cotton Tree Park, Maroochydore.
This is a race with daily King of the Mountain, Sprint, Team or Stage winners’ jerseys, but many cyclists participate just for the love of riding.
The 3 Day Velothon is not for the faint hearted with its epic climbs and challenging descents. King of the Mountain sections will include some of the Sunshine Coasts best road cycling climbs. Featuring sublime views of both the coast and hinterland. Fast and winding descents make the climbs all the more worthwhile. If sprints get your blood pumping faster, you’ve got half a dozen to choose from with dedicated sprint sections through the Sunshine Coast’s best-loved towns.
The 1 Day Velothon is held on the last day of the 3 Day Velothon, offering either 76km or 137km distances around the northern area of Noosa and into the hinterland. Take in the scenery or put yourself firmly in the hurt-box racing your friends, the peloton or just the clock. This is the perfect one-day race to fit into a weekend away in paradise.
This looks like a great weekend away, and is the perfect combination or cycling and relaxation in a beautiful destination.
