Take the Challenge. Enjoy the Ride.
For Weekend Warriors, Cycling Enthusiasts and Corporate Teams, Ride for Life has a speed for everyone
Northshore Riverside Park, Hamilton
We are excited to bring the Ride For Life Challenge to Brisbane again in 2018. On Sunday 28 October the Brisbane BMW & Westside BMW Ride For Life Challenge will tour around an 80km route through Brisbane City and out to Cleveland before returning to the start venue.
We’ll once again be starting and finishing at Northshore Riverside Park, Hamilton.
Event Timing / Team Details
Event Time:
5.00am – 11.00am. Your start time will be communicated 2 weeks out from the event date.
Note: riders will be prompted to select a speed group upon entering into this event and will be allocated to their cycle pack at kit collection.
Format:
This fully supported ride will include cycle pack police escorts, course cycle guides, a rest stop with refreshments, first aid, mechanical support and support vehicles. The format of this ride is unique, and riders in each pack will stay together, rather than ride from A to B on their own. For this reason, it is important that your speed grouping is accurately selected upon booking.
Teams:
Corporate groups, cycling/tri teams and individuals are encouraged to register. This is a social event, but due to the cycle pack format of this event and level of difficulty of the set course, this event is not suitable for young children, mountain bikes, or those whom have never ridden on the road before.

Early bird entry of $99 closes at midnight Friday 10 August, 2017 (includes jersey size guarantee!).

Registration Pack:
Includes official event jersey valued at $95, bike number, light brunch, and sponsor giveaways/offers.
