Entries are open now – if you’re a Bicycle Queensland member check your email, we sent a code for a 50% saving on full price!

If you’re wanting to sign up but aren’t sure about riding 100km, we have put together a basic 8-week training plan you can follow that will help build your endurance and comfort on the bike. This should help you gradually increase the amount you are riding, while adding in some stretching and group rides, so you can get used to what the ride will be like on October 12. We hope to see you at the finish!
