Bicycle Queensland’s next multi-day event is heading west – to Brymaroo. Situated in the Toowoomba region, this event will call the Brymaroo Rodeo and Campdraft grounds homebase for Friday 23rd October through to Sunday 25th October.
Partnering with Rotary Club of Toowoomba, the same group who delivered Ride the Range, BQ expect this event to be another fantastic event in regional Queensland.
Rides will be on quiet back roads and the champagne gravel of the area, with multiple distances to ride on both Saturday and Sunday, and a short afternoon cruise on Friday afternoon. The weekend will suit gravel bikes, cyclocross bikes and mountain bikes. But leave your road bikes at home.
The Weekend at The Downs will include catering for 6 meals from dinner on Friday through to lunch on Sunday. The event space will also include the campsites and amenities for all riders.

Ahead of the Stafford by-election, BQ is encouraging voters to ask candidates what their position is on e-mobility.
You can review BQ’s campaign to defend safe, legal e-bikes on our campaign page. This covers our history of campaigning to regulate illegal over-powered devices, our submissions and responses to the Parliamentary Inquiry, and progress so far.

Join Bicycle Queensland and local Bicycle User Groups for a pop-up advocacy event calling for urgent amendments to Queensland’s draft e-mobility laws. Join us at the Brisbane Botanic Gardens at the end of the Kangaroo Point Bridge from 7:15am – 8:30am Tuesday 21st April.
Not only will the new legislation make Queensland the hardest place in the world to ride safe, legal e-bikes – it won’t solve the issue of unregistered electric motorbikes. We will be inspecting real-world e-bikes from everyday riders to demonstrate how many currently safe, legal e-bikes may be negatively impacted by the proposed changes and made non-compliant. A live tally will highlight the scale of the issue.
What’s happening
Live e-bike “compliance” inspections
Rider interviews and community stories
Speeches from Bicycle Queensland and advocacy leaders
Media coverage and livestreaming
The proposed changes risk:
Making more than 200,000 safe, legal e-bikes effectively illegal
Making e-bike use ineffective by mandating 10km/h limits on shared paths
Restricting access through age limits and licensing requirements
BQ is calling for practical, evidence-based amendments that support safe, accessible riding for everyone.
