Tweed Coast Pedal for Prostates

More than 28,000 Australian men were diagnosed with prostate cancer in 2025.

1 in 5 of Australian men are at risk of being diagnosed in their lifetime and men living in regional or rural areas of Australia have approximately 24% higher rate of dying from prostate cancer than their urban counterparts.

Cabarita Beach and Pottsville Beach Lions Club is raising funds for prostate cancer research, while increasing awareness of the disease in Tweed Coast communities. Join the Lions Club for a casual bike ride through the spectacular Tweed countryside. It’s a scenic ride passing through a huge variety of landscapes along the award winning Northern Rivers Rail Trail. Take your time and have a day out in the country. Stop along the way for brunch, coffee, lunch, artisan ice cream and mouth-watering cakes. Enjoy hand made cheeses and other local produce along with the views. Or…. do the full ride in one go and enjoy brunch at one of the eateries. There are cafes, restaurants, art galleries, iconic pubs and roadhouses and soooo much great scenery.

High Country Gravel SQ

For riders curious about stepping beyond the Brisbane Valley Rail Trail, the High Country Gravel SQ Weekend (17–19 April) offers a low-stress way to experience South East Queensland’s next gravel frontier, without needing to plan every turn yourself.

Hosted around Crow’s Nest by Southern Queensland Cycle Trails Inc., the weekend showcases some of the best riding across both the Downs Burnett Cycle Trail and High Country Gravel South Queensland, with guided rides designed to suit a range of abilities and appetites for adventure.

The weekend kicks off on Friday evening with a relaxed, social sunset ride. This is a chance for riders arriving from Brisbane, the Sunshine Coast or the Gold Coast to stretch their legs, meet fellow participants and get a feel for the terrain. “It’s up on the ridges to a high point,” says Hugh Wilson from Southern Queensland Cycle Trails Inc. “You stop and watch the sunset, it’s a great way to start.”

Across Saturday and Sunday, riders can choose between shorter and longer ride options each day, allowing participants to tailor the experience to their fitness, confidence and curiosity. Some routes head out along the Downs Burnett Cycle Trail, while others explore the rolling gravel and quiet country roads that define the High Country Gravel network.

Crucially, this isn’t rail trail riding. But it’s also not extreme or intimidating.

“It’s not a rail trail,” Hugh says. “But there’s very few cars, and the ones that are there tend to be locals who give you plenty of room. There’s no battle on the road at all.”

Accommodation options range from pubs and motels to cabins, campgrounds and Airbnbs, and riders are encouraged to stay local, eat local and explore the towns they pass through.
