Lions Brisbane West Ipswich Scenic 100 2026 wrap up 

Mass-participation rides are a big part of what makes Bicycle Queensland tick. We were honoured to partner with Lions Brisbane West on the Ipswich Scenic 100 ride event for 2026. Over 700 riders took part on a glorious early autumn day riding out and back from Ipswich. Bicycle Queensland helped out with registrations and marketing of the event, and with insurance for riders. 
 
With four different routes to choose from, there was a challenge for every rider. The ‘Metric’ 100km loop and the ‘Imperial’ 160km loop were the most popular categories. Local Lions club members handed out refreshments, ensuring riders were very well looked after on-route. 

‘It was a celebration of cycling and community,’ said BQ’s CEO Dr. Matthew Burke. ‘Lions Brisbane West should be proud they grew their event so significantly, with hundreds more riders this year. We’re so pleased we were a small part in making that happen.’  

Community bike events are really important to what Bicycle Queensland does. Congratulations to all the riders who joined us in Ipswich this year.  

Our next event is BQ’s Weekend at Pomona on 16-17 May. Details are on the event page. We hope to see you there!
