02.01.2022 After our achievements in 2020 it's time again to consider pulling on the Big Ride jersey. Some of us have decided to enter the Tour de Brisbane being held on S...unday April 11, and are encouraging others to join with us on what should be an exciting day of riding, and an opportunity to show the Big Ride colours. There are several options to accommodate all levels of riding, from the Community Ride (free) through to the 110 km Gran Fondo ride. In between are the Piccolo (30km) and the Medio (70km). We encourage you to join. Have a look at the courses on the Tour de Brisbane website. A couple of us are planning on entering the Medio which will suit our fitness level, and accommodate e-Bikes as well. We'd love to hear from you letting us know if you're interested and what distance would suit you. Early-bird entry finishes on 31 January, and there is lots of information on the Tour de Brisbane website that will help you make up your mind. Early bird entry fees range from $219 for the Grand Fondo to $99 for the Piccolo. Please let us know your thoughts, if you are interested and what course would suit you. For the past couple of weeks we've been training on part of the course in Brisbane's South East on Sunday mornings, starting at 7am from below the cliffs at Kangaroo Point and of course you would be more than welcome to join us. [See https://goo.gl/maps/efBHitCfLZfKkXQC7 ]. Again let us know if you'd like to come along.
