Start / Finish

Northshore Riverside Park, Hamilton

We are excited to bring the Ride For Life Challenge to Brisbane again in 2019 – our 10th Anniversary and our FINAL year . On Sunday 27 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 and finishing up with a big party all morning long!

Time / Teams

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.

what people say

Fantastic event, so well organised, had a ball and will definitely be riding next year. Hats off to all of the organisers and the QLD Police who did a stellar job.
ALEX PREZ
Today was my first time in participating in the Ride for Life Challenge. I have to say it has been one of the best organised rides that I have participated in, from the overall organisation, police escort (brilliant), reply to emails and the food at the end – awesome. Thank you to everyone who made this event so worthwhile!!
