Y2W Brisbane Valley Rail Trail End to End

Bicycle Queensland and the Brisbane Valley Rail Trail Users Association (BVRTUA) are bringing a multi-day, catered, mass participation event back to the Brisbane Valley Rail Trail (BVRT). With the popularity of BQ’s multi-day events and the BVRT, you can guarantee that this event will be one to remember! Running from July 4 to July 6, the 3-day event includes an event shuttle, luggage transfers, main meals, and amenities.

Starting in Wulkuraka, riders, their luggage and their bikes will be whisked to Yarraman to start the ride. Each night will include catering for dinners (and breakfasts) and entertainment. This is a managed event from Yarraman to Wulkuraka, and an easy way to experience the journey from the northern end of the Brisbane Valley Rail Trail, off the range to Linville, and through the productive farmland and onto the outskirts of Ipswich.

Day 1: Yarraman to Linville
Day 2: Linville to Esk
Day 3: Esk to Wulkuraka

This event will be suitable for riders on mountain bikes and gravel bikes.

Ticketing will be open in 2025 with early bird pricing available – but save the date in your calendar: make sure you’re ready for the Y2W from 4-6 July 2025.

Veloroo GR8 Gravel Rides – Crows Nest

What is Gr8 Gravel?

A ride consisting of loops from a start point giving you the freedom to complete the full course or smaller segments to suit your level. Veloroo draws from their local knowledge of the roads around Crows Nest and bring together an awesome day of gravel riding.

It’s all about Smiles per Hour 🙂

This is not a guided ride however there will be a couple of lead riders on the course if you choose to ride with them but they will keep at a general pace. You will be emailed a GPX file in order to follow the route. The support van will be a check point enroute to ensure everyone has made it through each section and will sweep the course if necessary. The support van will also have extra water onboard and ride snacks to help you refuel. You can also pop your backpack in the van to be able to access at the checkpoints.

For those with a bit of a distance to travel, you may wish to make a weekend of it and stay at the Crows Nest Tourist Park Qld or the Crows Nest Motel or even check out High Country Hamlets for other accommodation options.

Rider numbers are limited.
