The Red Sky Ride is a challenging 4 day endurance ride from Albany to Perth. The Red Sky Ride is a 4 day ride that starts in Albany
more
The Red Sky Ride is a 4 day ride that starts in Albany and finishes in Perth. This is a challenging ride with some days being tougher than others! Both physically and mentally. It is also a fundraising ride, where you will be raising funds for Solaris Cancer Care. They are Western Australia’s leader in cancer support and integrative health care.
The event itself is actually a ride from the South West of WA town of Albany along the coast to Walpole via coming up to Bridgetown through to Bunbury on the coast and then the final push through to Perth. This is 4 days of solid riding that you will need to train for. You also have the option of just riding a single day (or two).
The Red Sky Ride starts with a road trip of sorts. You’ll all take a bus with all your gear and bikes, and travel from Perth to Albany, which is about 400km south-east on the southern coastline of Western Australia.
Each day is a ride of between 100 to 170 km.
Day 1. The Albany to Walpole section is undulating. (127km)
Day 2. The Walpole to Bridgetown section is undulating with some long climbs. (163km)
Day 3. Bridgetown through to Bunbury will also have some long climbs with some great descents off the escarpment on to the coastal plain into Bunbury. (94km)
Day 4. The final day, Bunbury to Perth is along the coastal plain to the CBD. (168km)
Each rider is expected to raise the required fundraising and to attend training before the start of the riding week. Which means that ideally you need to be living in Perth or able to attend at least one training ride each month.
The Red Sky Ride is fully supported with lead vehicles, and support with snacks and hydration, along with emergency mechanical repairs.
There is a post-event appreciation evening with family and supporters of the ride being held at the Solaris Cancer Centre in Cottesloe.
This is a great ride to attend as you are helping to support families with cancer. On a personal level, you have the challenge of achieving the fundraising goals as well as reaching a certain level of fitness for riding.
The ride happens in March, which is turning into the late summer months. The weather in Albany and along the southern coast is milder than Perth but may receive some drizzle. As a guide you can expect temperatures of between 15 – 30 degrees celsius.
You’ll find other great rides, like the Red Sky Ride, in our online Cycling Event Calendar.

more
The High Country Charity Ride is a ride that is not for the faint-hearted!
You’ll be travelling 500km and climbing two mountain passes over four days. The ride starts in Wangaratta, through to Bright and Omeo before finishing at Mount Beauty.
This ride is based in Bright which is a real mecca for both mountain bike and road cycling. It is also a great place to sample some great craft beer. The riding is a climber’s wishlist come true with those two mountain passes.
From Bright to Omeo, you will have to climb the Mountain pass that is Mount Hotham and descent of Dinner Plains and finally into Omeo.
To get from Bright to Mt Beauty, you’ll be climbing up Mount Beauty over the Tawonga gap pass. Those who want a real challenge should continue through to Falls Creek, which is up the main entrance and original sealed section to the Ski town of Falls Creek, which is another fantastic climb.
Note, this event is limited to 100 riders, so you will need to register early!
The High Country Charity Ride raises vital funds for pioneering cancer research at the Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre. It is organised by the Tour de Cure, an Australian charity that raises money to fund cancer research, prevention and support services and programs. They are based in Sydney and organise cycling tours and fundraising events throughout Australia. There are a series of events to suit riders who live in any state of Australia covering different timeframes. This includes the Signature Tour from Sydney to Geelong this year, the High Country Charity Ride, the Westpac 202, the Woolies Wheels and Walks, the SA Discovery Tour, the LIFE Ride, the Peter Mac Ride, the Can4Cancer ride. That is 8 rides in total each year!
Most of the rides tend to be a multi-day ride or event covering anywhere from 200 to 1000 km.
The Tour de Cure cycling events have some well-known high profile cyclists including former profession cyclist, Jens Voigt, Australian champion rower Drew Ginn, Paralympic Matthew Formston, the professional actor Eric Bana and the Sunrise sports presenter Mark Beretta. These people cycle the full event, they don’t just sit on the sideline and wave you off at the start line. They ride the whole distance with you, so you can get up close and personal.

The Melbourne to Canberra Zoo2Zoo ride is an amazing opportunity to ride through the high country. A true experience! The Melbourne to Canberra Zoo2Zoo Ride is a six day ride
more
The Melbourne to Canberra Zoo2Zoo Ride is a six day ride that starts in Melbourne and winds its way through rural NSW before finishing in Canberra. This ride heads through beautiful countryside that was made famous by the Man from Snowy River.
The Z002Zoo Ride started in 2006 when a group of friends rode from Taronga Zoo to the Western Plains Zoo, with the simple goal of raising some money. Since then, the Z002Zoo Ride has evolved into a series of 5 rides held throughout the year: Melbourne to Canberra, Canberra to Dubbo, Canberra to Mogo, Sydney to Dubbo and Molong to Dubbo.
The Z002Zoo Ride is now raising money for the Black Dog Institute, which is a not-for-profit, educational, research, clinical and community-oriented facility offering specialist expertise in depression and bipolar disorder.
The Melbourne to Canberra stint is a six day ride.
Day 1 Melbourne to Bonnie Doon. (158km) Day 1 obviously starts at a zoo, Melbourne Zoo, in the inner city. You’ll make your way out of Melbourne onto Brunswick Road, then Plenty Road before stopping at Wittlesea for a break. You’ll then ride towards Yea for lunch, stopping again at Yarck, before arriving in Bonnie Doon. This is a big day as you’ll be covering a distance of approximately 158 km and climbing over 1500 m with three major climbs during the day. So expect 50 km with the first climb of 500m, then the second climb of about 200m, and then a third climb of another 200m. You will have earnt your nights’ rest!
Day 2 Bonnie Doon to Myrtleford. (165km) Day 2 is a big day where you will be covering some distance with one really big climb over 30km. You’ll be covering approximately 165 km with gains of over 1400 m elevation as you ride through Mansfields, Whitford and MoOyhu before arriving at Myrtleford for the night.
Day 3 Myrtleford to Corryong. (165km) Day 3 is another big day in the saddle with 165km and 2000m of climbing. You’ll find three major climbs during the day with the last being from 100km for 22 km rising approximately 500 m. Another well earned sleep that night. You’ll ride from Myrtleford and through to Corryong, staying to the south of Albury and south of the Lakes.
Day 4 Corryong to Thredbo. (102km) Day 4 may only be covering 102 km, but you’ll be climbing approximately 3000 metres, so it’s a big day! There are two climbs for the day, the first being a 600 m climb and then followed with 1000m climb up the back of Mount Kosciuszko. You’ll be overnighting at Thredbo.
Day 5 Thredbo to Coomera. (100km) After the big climb up to Thredbo, you would think that Day 5 would be all downhill. But it isn’t! You’ll be coming off the height of 1400m and down to 800 m over 100 km, but you’ve still got some undulations just near Jindabyne and then some more through to Cooma. So you will still be gaining 1000m of climbing through the day for your 100km. Another well earned rest that night!
Day 6 Coomera to Canberra. (122km) Day 6 is another day of climbing as you head on the homeward stretch to Canberra. You can expect 122 km rising 1000m, mainly just steady undulations throughout the day of around 100 m high with a final descent into Canberra.
What a challenge! It’s a real bucket list ride that supports a worthy charity!

The Canberra to Dubbo Zoo2Zoo Ride is an organised three day social group ride that rides through the countryside beteen the ACT and NSW whilst raising awareness and money for research, treatment, and education into depression and bipolar disorder.
The Z002Zoo Ride started in 2006 when a group of friends rode from Taronga Zoo to the Western Plains Zoo, with the simple goal of raising some money. Since then, the Z002Zoo Ride has evolved into a series of 5 rides held throughout the year: Melbourne to Canberra, Canberra to Dubbo, Canberra to Mogo, Sydney to Dubbo and Molong to Dubbo.
The Z002Zoo Ride is now raising money for the Black Dog Institute, which is a not-for-profit, educational, research, clinical and community-oriented facility offering specialist expertise in depression and bipolar disorder.
The Canberra to Dubbo stint is a three day ride.
Day 1 Canberra to Young. (179km) Day 1 starts quite early at a zoo of course, the National Zoo & Aquarium. You’ll leave Canberra past Stromlo Forest Park into the rolling hills on the outskirts of Canberra, with the beautful Brindabella Ranges as the backdrop. When arriving at Yass, you’ll stop for a break before heading to the cherry capital of Young.
Day 2 Young to Molong. (173km) Day 2 is a big day with some distance to cover! You’ll enjoy a short climb out of Young before a nice flat ride towards Cowra. You’ll then make your way through open fields into Canowindra, followed by some gentle climbs up to Cudal, finishing with some very picturesque country as you ride into Molong. Molong is where you will stop for the night. A big day at the office, as some would say!
Day 3 Molong to Dubbo. (115km) Day 3 is a relatively short day of riding that starts with a nice short ride up and down some rolling hills into Cumnock. After stopping for breakfast, you’ll then continue on through the backcountry to Yeoval. After another coffeee break, you’ll then have some good climbs and descents through some beautiful countryside before riding into Dubbo. The whole peleton will then ride together into the Western Plains Zoo, which marks the end of our journey. A journey of 115 kilometres today.
This sounds like a great 3 days of riding through some beautiful rural areas with some breathtaking scenery. Plus it isn’t a bad way to make some new friends whilst also supporting a good cause!

The Life Cycle for CanTeen is a three day onroad charity ride that raises funds for the youth cancer charity, CanTeen, which supports young people living with cancer. The onroad version is celebrating it’s 20th ride this year with 135 riders and 45 support crew. There is also an offroad ride, Life Cycle for Canteen Off-Road.
The ride starts in the Riverside suburb of Bassendean, 15 km from the Perth CBD and 10km from the Airport. And finishes at Busselton, a seaside town approximately 230km south of Perth.
The route for the Life Cycle for CanTeen onroad ride is from Bassendean through to Busselton over three days.
Riders will be split up into 5 groups based on approximate riding ability. The minimum ride distance is 270km and up to 415km for the faster groups.
The ride starts by travelling on the flat and slight undulations through the suburbs of Perth to then overnight in Pinjarra. You can expect to ride about 100km to 175km depending upon the group you are in. Day 2 you’ll be continuing from Pinjarra to Brunswick Junction near Bunbury on the South-West Highway. Those on the faster groups can expect to detour via Dwellingup, which is a good climb into the escarpment of the hills that run parallel to the coastline. Expect some afternoon activities in Brunswick eg swim, lawn bowls, some functions and a silent auction.
The final day is from Brunswick to Busselton on relatively flat roads and a very scenic ride through the Tuart Forest along the coast into town. Those who are still eager to turn their pedals will detour via the undulations near Donnybrook, before returning back to Busselton. You’ll then be coaching back to Perth with trailers to hold all your gear.
You will need a mattress and sleeping bag, with the option of sleeping indoors or out.
The Life Cycle for CanTeen Onroad ride sounds like a fantastic tour into parts of WA that are not normally travelled by bike. You’ll also be helping raise money for a good cause, by helping children recovering from Cancer and aiding their treatment.
Registration is limited to the first 135 riders, and there is a waitlist. Make sure you do put your name on the waitlist if you are too late to register. I’ll be attending this ride in 2019 thanks to the waitlist! There are some pre-event rides to meet up with fellow riders based around Perth and suburbs.

The 80km Challenge Ride is for those riders who are wanting to push themselves. It follows the 60km Coast Ride, with a double loop at Kurnell.

more
The Cycle of Giving is a charity event along the Brisbane coastline for riders of all abilities to raise money for organ transplant research. It hopes to raise over $250,000 to fund life-saving and life-changing research supported by The Prince Charles Hospital Foundation.
The Cycle of Giving, starts and finishes at James Drysdale Recreation Reserve in Bunya, about 18km north of the Brisbane CBD. You’ll find four rides over three routes to suit cyclists of all abilities: 10km, 20km, 60km and 100km.
The 10 and 20 km route should cater for all different levels of rider, as well as children and families with an out and back route. The 60km and 100km route is for those wanting to go the extra mile. For it, you will head out past the descent and the undulations along Albany Creek past Warner heading near to Petrie. This is where the 60km riders turn east and head towards the beach at Shorncliffe Pier. Meanwhile, the 100km riders will continue north along the inland turning up to Burpengary, and then turning east toward the coast through Deception Bay, Scarborough and Redcliffe. Then heading south along the coast to Shorncliffe Pier. The 100km and 60km riders will then join forces and turn at Shorncliffe Pier to head back inland towards Bunya. Over the 100km distance, the elevation is very gentle with about 650 m of elevation with a final climb up to the finish at Bunya. You’ll find a flatter course than most other events and the whole day is family friendly.
Bunya is about 20 km northwest of the Brisbane CBD and about 25 km from the Brisbane Airport. It is easily accessible by train and bus, as well as by car (with limited parking available at the event). Which is about a 30 min trip.

This ride provides opportunities for women to experience the pleasure of riding a bicycle.
Gear up Girl Central Coast starts at Picnic Point Reserve at Tuggerah.
There are 3 rides on offer: the 25km Lakeside Ride (mostly/all path), the 45km Loop of the Lake Ride (road & path) and the 80km Challenge Ride. Two of the rides can be RidesAssist rides, where those living with visual impairment can hop on the back of a tandem and go for a ride.

This ride starts at The Entrance (Picnic Point Reserve) and loops around Tuggerah Lake anticlockwise, before heading back to The Entrance for morning tea. This ride is mostly on road shoulders, with some fast sections where riders can stretch their legs, and some shared paths where the pace is kept slow so we can safely “share the path”.
The 80km Challenge Ride is perfect for more experienced riders who are comfortable cycling on the road/road shoulder with some fast passing traffic in sections, with an average pace of 25-30km an hour. This ride starts at The Entrance (Picnic Point Reserve), heading out to climb a few small hills and a ride along some fast sections where you can stretch your legs before returning to The Entrance.

more
The Peaks Challenge Falls Creek, or 3 Peaks, is an iconic ride that has the reputation of being one of Australia’s toughest events with 4000+m to climb over 235km with a 13 hour deadline.
This is the iconic ironman or (ironwoman) ride that is more than a challenge. Don’t be put off by the distance, as it can be achieved. The elevation gain is daunting and can be overcome. Together it becomes an epic day in the saddle and a true bucket list item that other riders will ‘bow in your direction at’ for having finished within the time limit. It’s a true test of mind over matter.
So what is Peaks Challenge Falls Creek? Basically it is a 235km ride from Falls Creek, via Tawonga Gap (climb 1), Mount Hotham (climb 2), Omeo (sneaky climb, no number) and then WTF to the Back of Falls (climb 3). The terrain on the climbs is spectacular, with the grey burnt out trees and regrowth on Hotham and Falls Creek seeming surreal when compared to the green forests of the Tawonga Gap.
If you get the chance to stay at Falls creek then the expense is rewarded by having easy access to the event village and the riders briefing on the Saturday evening. As the event starts up at Falls Creek at around 7am with a traffic curfew starting at 5am from Bright, you’ll need to get up early to get to the start location on time. I booked my accommodation early through Airbnb and found something at a good price right in the centre of town.
The first step, is a 35km descent off the Mountain from Falls Creek, heading down towards Tawonga. Getting off the Mountain is the most important thing to achieve, as all the other riders are still with you at this point. Tick, down safe. Then it is time to warm up and get those legs moving.
This is not a ride that you can just turn up and do, without some preparation and training. Take the time over the summer months to build your strength and endurance. Make sure that some love is shown to the two-wheeled steed that will transport you. And make sure beforehand that your bike has had a full service, not just a wipe down with a rag and a bit of oil slapped on the chain.
The result will be an exciting challenge of self-inflicted pain with an amasing sense of achievement.
The Peaks Challenge Falls Creek is a true bucket list ride. Or for some, it’s an event that they keep going back to. Ask me about this event over a coffee and I’ll need an insulated cup, as the beverage will go cold.
The weather in Falls Creek can be quite variable, so pack everything! Being in March, the weather will be cool upon the mountains but will be warm on the plains . The event starts at daybreak so expect it to be cold (0-10 degrees), with possible drizzle and maybe even some snow. Once you’ re down the mountain and at the plains near Bright and then through Dinner Plains and through to Omeo, it will start to warm up with temperatures 10 to 15 degrees higher than the maximum upon the mountains. This can range anywhere from between 20-40 degrees. Plus being in the mountains, the wind can start at any time along with the possibility of rain or drizzle. Just make sure to layer up, so you can then layer off.
Falls Creek, which is in the Snowy Mountains, a 4-5 hr drive from Melbourne. Make a real trip out of this event and enjoy the region. If you’re up for it, try Mt Buffalo as a recovery ride or stop at Bright or other towns. This is what memories are made of and makes for good stories that can be told later. My tip would be that whilst in Bright, is to grab all your provisions and supplies before heading to your accommodation near Falls Creek, as the prices escalate with the increase in elevation. The accommodation choices are very limited at Falls Creek so some riders will stay in Bright or Mount Beauty or around Tawonga. Bearing in mind that the road will be closed on the ride morning from a very early start with a road closures (5 a.m. I think).
This is an iconic ride. Or what you would call ‘A hard day at the office’! It is definately a ride that I would love to repeat.

Enjoy a weekend of endurance cycling with Revolve24 Australia at the Bend Motorsport Park near Adelaide.
The Revolve24 is an endurance event over 24 hours (hence the name). This event is on a closed 4.95km with 55.3m elevation gain on the circuit at the Bend Motorsport Park in South Australia. This is the same track that the V8’s use and is supersmooth. The Bend is a world class development that is touted as being “near” Adelaide. Their definition of “near” is 107km from the Adelaide CBD. So you will need to drive as there is no public transport. Stuart O’Grady, formula winner of the Perry Roubaix and legend within the cycling fraternity, has been appointed as the Race Director for the Bend Endurance Challenge.
In 2019, the Bend Endurance Challenge is being held in March, unlike the previous year when it was held in January during the Tour Down Under. This made for a quite a bit of distraction during the event as riders didn’t know if they should be in Adelaide for the TDU or be down at the racetrack to do the 24-hour ride.
You can enter this challenge as a soloist or a team of 2, 4, 6 or 8 riders. All entries are open for riders 18 and above. You must be a Cycling Australia member and you can purchase a membership for just the day. You can also use this endurance event as an opportunity to raise funds for juvenile diabetes, with a reduced registration fee if you pledge to raise $1000 towards JDRF.
You can choose between the 6 hour challenge, a dusk till dawn 12 hour challenge, or the circuit challenge which is the 24 hour event. An added bonus for the 24-hour challenge is that it is the only event in Australasia where you can get gain qualification for the world’s toughest bicycle race, the Race Across America (RAAM).
There is also a community event, The Coorong Community Ride, that is being held on a different track, on the Saturday. This is an event for families and friends to attend, with activities being held throughout the day.
Please note that the event is not floodlit at night time, so riders at night will have to have their own lights (set to solid and not flashing).

The Bathurst Cycling Classic is a series of cycling events held over days. This event has been dubbed the ‘Cycling Miracle of NSW‘ by Bicycling Australia magazine.
The event is based in the heritage town of Bathurst, about 200km or a 3 hour drive west of Sydney. Bathurst is easily accessible by plane, trains, bus and by car.
There are 3 events being held over this exciting weekend.
The Saturday events include a Criterium Race and the NSW Hill Climb Championships. The Criterium takes place in the streets of Bathurst CBD with a race around the picturesque Kings Parade and surrounding streets. The Hill Climb’s 4.1 km course starts in Harris Park and finishes in Sulman and Reid Parks, at the top of the famous Mount Panorama race track. A very unique experience. If you wish to give the Hill Climb a crack, you will need to register for the 110km B2B (Blaney to Bathurst) event and be a member of Cycling Australia.
The main event for the Bathurst Cycling Classic is held on Sunday, with the B2B Blayney to Bathurst. This is a UCI Gran fFondoWorld Series event and is only one of three UCI Gran fondo races in Australia. Which means that if you want to qualify for the UCI, you can attend this event as a race and compete in your age category. You can still do this ride as a recreational cyclist, with a staggered start based on your nominated average speed.
There are 2 distances for the B2B Blayney to Bathurst: 110km and 70km. Riders on both courses will be treated to race-like conditions, with riders setting off in waves, based on estimated average speed across the fully closed road course. Whilst both rides start and finish in the same location, the two courses differ in length and difficulty.
Entry for UCI qualification is with the longer 110 km course (unless you’re an Elite Wave rider). With a 1100 metres of elevation gain, the event starts in Blayney . You’ll then head south towards Trunkey Creek, continuing north along the rolling Trunkey Road towards Georges Plain, before deviating from the short course again to take in a loop down to Rockley Mount. From here you’ll then head North to Perthville where you’ll rejoin the 70km riders before heading back to Mount Panorama.
The shorter 70 km course is a recreational ride where riders are assembled in indicative average speeds and released again. The event also starts in Blayney, heading South towards Hobbys Yard. From here the 70km rides will splinter off and take a more direct route to Bathurst through Newbridge and Perthville.
A very unique finish is the event village location at the Mount Panorama pit complex. The Event Village for the Bathurst Cycle Classic has a host of street food, and coffee, wine, craft beer and cider stalls on site is as well as live music.
If you’re concerned about how to get out there, there is a bus service transporting riders and bikes from Bathurst to Blayney in the morning and then again in the evening Bathurst to Blayney.

more
The World Naked Bike Ride in Melbourne is a naked ride that is held in Melbourne, riding through the CBD and surrounding areas.
The purpose for riding naked is to highlight the visibility or the distraction of motorists, who appear to be unable to see cyclists when wearing clothing. They are also protesting against the transport powered by non-sustainable forms of energy, and promoting positive body image to one and all.
The event itself is a free event (donations welcome) and is available to all people of all ages, both young and old. The World Naked Bike Ride is a global event with similar events happening throughout the world.
The amount of clothing that you do (or don’t wear) is up to you. You must wear a helmet, and nearly everyone wears shoes. You must also ride with some clothing to put on ‘just in case’. The ride organisers don’t say that the event is illegal, but they also don’t say that it is legal. They say that Police have been supportive and that there have been no arrests since the ride first started in 2006.
Because of the crowds this event draws and the subsequent traffic management issues, the route is not made public to participants until the day of the ride. The ride starts and finishes at a bar in North Melbourne, near the Macaulay Train station which is on the Upfield Train line.
At this time of year, the weather in Melbourne is in the last days of Summer and early Autumn. The temperature range from between 10 to 25 degrees, and with this event being held in the afternoon, it should be warm enough to be comfortably naked. The chance of rain is minimal and would only be a drizzle at best.
This is a unique event that is growing in popularity (and not just for cyclists but for the crowds who turn up to watch).

The Tour of the Blackwood is a challenging ride along the mighty Blackwood River, through beautiful forests in a stunning part of WA’s south-west region.
This cycling event is held in the south western town of Bridgetown in Western Australia. The town of Bridgetown is 260 km southeast or a three hour drive from Perth CBD, or an hour and a half’s drive from Bunbury.
The Tour of Backwood has three rides on offer, suitable for riders of all abilities. You’ll find the Full Tour (134km), the Half N Best (65km) and the family ride known as The Cozy (10km).
In 2019, the dates of this ride have been moved forward from the middle of school holidays in April to the end of March. This means that you’ll have a better chance of finding somewhere to stay (school holidays are always busy with accommodation shortages) and the weather will be much better as it will be the middle of Autumn. You can expect temperatures in the range of 5 through to 25 degrees with a small chance of rain.
The Full Tour is a challenging ride for advanced riders, where you’ll cover 134km from Bridgetown to Balingup and Nannup. Expect 1700m of climbs! The ride starts in Bridgetown and heads north-east towards Boyanup Brooke before turning towards Greenbushes North and through to Balingup. From Balingup, the route follows the banks of the Blackwood River and down towards Nannup. You’ll be riding through farmland, rolling hills and the natural forest of Karri and Jarrah. From Nannup, you’ll climb out of town along the Brookman Highway. This is a 300m plus climb and then rolling undulations before a great descent and then some smaller hills before you roll back into Bridgetown.
The Half N Best is designed for those who are relatively fit but still looking for a challenge, where you’ll cover 65km from Bridgetown and Greenbushes. You’ll find climbs of 841m. The ride starts in Bridgetown, following the same route north to Greenbushes with the Full Tour riders. You’ll then be turning south at Greenbushes through the undulations to join the Brockman Highway, before returning to Bridgetown. A nice short sharp ride with enough elevation to still be challenging. It’s also quite a picturesque ride through farming country and native Bushland.
The Tour of Blackwood raises money for Blackwood Youth Action, a local not for profit group, that provides counselling to young people across the Warren Blackwood region. This is a true community ride coming together to support each other.
This cycling event is a great excuse to get out and see a beautiful part of the region in the Southwest. It’s also a great chance to enjoy the other features of the district, including fresh produce, local cideries and boutique breweries.

This is the second Smiddy Challenge, with the first riding from Townsville to Brisbane – The Original Smiddy Challenge: Townsville to Brisbane.
The Adelaide Smiddy Challenge is a 5 day ride that is held over 7 days. The first 2 days are spent in Adelaide, checking that your bike is ready, meeting your fellow riders, the rider briefing and a social ride the day before the serious riding starts.
Day 1 (126km) Adelaide to Hahndorf. The day will start with the first hill challenge—heading up Norton Summit Rd—an Adelaide cycling institution. Once you’ve conquered the Summit, you’ll cycle the rolling hills and back country roads of the Adelaide Hills, heading towards the world famous MacLaren Vale wine region. You’ll then continue through the quiet back lanes to the historic village of Strathalbyn, taking in the old world charm of this quaint village. Before heading north, climbing gradually up the hills towards the famous German inspired town of Hahndorf.
Day 2 (138km) Hahndorf to Lyndoch. The day will start off easy, riding out over country roads and through the historic buildings and leafy streetscapes of quaint little towns. You’ll pick up some speed as the road falls down into the Angas Valley and the vast cropping lands abutting the Murray River. And then you start your climb up into the world famous Barossa wine region. You’ll climb past stunning vineyards, finishing at the beautiful town of Lyndoch which you’ll stay for the next two nights.
Day 3 (86km) Lyndoch – Barossa Valley Loop. This day is a little easier with a slower pace where you’ll cycle through the Barossa Valley, stopping to enjoy the local produce and to sample some local wines.
Day 4 (145km) Lyndoch to Victor Harbour. This will be your biggest day as you head south along the ridgeline of the Adelaide Hills, and make your way up the tough Corkscrew Road climb made famous by the Tour Down Under! After pushing your legs to the limit, you’ll then leave the hills behind and travel through the farm roads, before rolling down to sea level and historic Victor Harbour on the Great Australian Bight.
Day 5 (122km) Victor Harbour to Glenelg. This is your last day but you still have some climbing to do. The days starts with a steady climb up the range, crossing the peninsula before dropping back down to reach the shores of St Vincent’s Gulf and beautiful Aldinga Beach. You’ll then detour for the final climb of the tour, the infamous Old Willunga Hill. You’ll then descend down into MacLaren Vale and enjoying a break amongst the vineyards, before making your way through the beachside suburbs to our final stop at Glenelg Beach.
This sounds like a great ride with many iconic climbs that you can tick off from your Bucket List.

more
The ride does two things. Firstly, it raises much-needed money to fund youth mental health services in rural country towns, through Youth Focus. Youth Focus provides some invaluable services through rural and remote WA.
The other purpose of the ride is to inspire youth and young adults by visiting schools along the way. Riders will visit high schools and engage with students about youth suicide, depression, anxiety and self harm, as well as inform them of the services that Youth Focus provides.
The Hawaiian Ride for Youth starts in two locations: Albany or Jurien Bay. Riders will then cycle back to Perth through towns in WA’s South West, Great Southern, Wheatbelt and Mid West.
The ride is held over 4 1/2 days with riders riding through a series of different routes. After registration, the riders are split into teams so that they can work together to fundraise the required donations to Youth Focus. To make sure you’ll be fit enough to finish the ride, there is a training program along with training rides from September all the way through to the ride date in March. Over the course of 4 1/2 days, the riders will cover approximately 700 km. Some routes have greater elevations than others but you would expect to cover in excess of 4000m for the trip.
Numbers for the ride are limited to between 120 and 160 riders depending on which route you will be on. Each peloton has up to 60 riders, with final numbers being based around the availability of accommodation along the route.
The ride first started in 2003 when a small group of recreational cyclists decided to work together to raise money for Youth Focus by riding from Albany to Perth along the coast. The ride has now grown to include 3 other routes. The routes are:
Riders are all taken by bus from Perth to their start location in either Albany or Jurien Bay. The ride finishes at Kings Park, with the peloton of all 4 groups riding to the finish together. A function is held about 2 to 4 weeks after the finish of the ride, to catch up and to celebrate the achievement.
The registration for the Hawaiian Ride for Youth opens in early June/July with team members chosen in late July or August. This is a ride that you have to apply for, and there are more applicants than places.
This is a great ride to attend. I participated in 2014 and 2015 and thoroughly enjoyed it. The fundraising requirements might feel scary but the team approach to raising the money means that you aren’t doing it alone. Plus you’ll be cycling with a bunch or people who feel passionate about a good cause!

more
The High Country Women’s Cycling Festival is a celebration of women’s cycling that is held over three days. The event is based in the town of Bright, on the edge of the Snowy Ranges.
The town of Bright is located on the northern side of the southern Snowy Ranges, just off the Hume Highway (M31) which links Melbourne to Sydney. About 310 km northeast of Melbourne and 85 km south-east of Wangaratta. If you’re not driving, you can take the train to Wangaratta and then a coach to Bright with V/Lines.
The festival starts on the Friday (Day 1) with registration, a briefing and drinks at the Event Hub which is located at Bright Brewery. That afternoon, there is a 2 hour cycling clinic for those looking to build confidence on the bike, covering bike handling skills key to enjoying the weekend of riding, including; ascending, descending, cornering & group riding.
Day 2 is the main event with Ride Mount Buffalo. Mount Buffalo is an iconic mountain which is one of the seven Peaks in Victoria. The Mount Buffalo National Park is truly unique with the Granite outcrops and towering cliffs and waterfalls. This is an 67km ride with the emphasis being on a social and supportive ride. For the ride starts in Bright, that will take you through the flat lands and then rising up into the National Park and before returning to Bright. The climb starts just after entering the national park for a distance of 20.4 km with an elevation gain of 1015 m at an average grade of 5% (max grade of 11%). This is an amazing ride with a number of switchbacks and beautiful scenery to look to take your mind off the climb.
There are a series of other events on this day, including the Lycra Lunch Party, the hot yoga session and the celebration dinner.
Day 3 starts off with Falls with Fondo…. This ride starts from the Mount Beauty Tennis Club and is a 30 km climb to the top of Falls Creek. If you wish to start early, you could ride from Bright over to Mount Beauty via the Tawonga Gap and then the rise up to the Falls Creek Alpine Village. The Climb is over 1100m, winding through a series of early descents and ascents. Then into the main climb which includes twisting and turning through the tall gum forest and small water falls before then breaking through into the eerie burnt-out Grey Gums. You’ll find an average grade at 4% with a max graded 10%. Easy, some would say! 😉 The Descent off Falls is the same used during the Falls Creek Three Peaks Challenge, but you’ll have to remember that you are now back on open roads which means staying to the left.
To round out High Country Women’s Cycling Festival there is the Cyclepath Mechanics Workshop. Or you can follow the Follow my Wheel Rail Trail Produce Tour and discover local produce and wines with tasting along the way. This is almost a special trip in itself! The festival finishes with a special lunch with matching wines at Feathertop Winery overlooking Mount Buffalo. This time you may not have to cycle up as you have already earned the reward.
The weather in Bright at this time of year is Autumn, which can be cool mornings with warmer days. It is worth remembering that the weather conditions on top of the mountains can be quite different and can change rapidly. You can expect valley temperatures to be between 5 in the morning through to 25, with the top of the mountain to be between 0 and 15 degrees. The best thing you can do, is to remember to layer up. Also have a gilet or light jacket in your back pocket for your descent.
This ride is for any woman that wishes to take on the challenge of climbing and accept that they love to climb.

The weather in Melbourne in late March/early April is at the start of autumn. Which means it is beginning to cool down after the long summer. The temperature should range from around 10 degrees in the morning to days of around 20 to 25 degrees with the possibility of some rain. Being Melbourne, I would certainly be bringing a light jacket or a gilet along (just in case). Don’t forget to check with the Bureau of Meteorology for the latest update.
The starting point, Docklands, is located on the edge of the Melbourne CBD, which means it is easily accessible by bus, tram or train.
