Don't Forget to Sign Up for Queensland's Biggest Bike Ride

ENTRIES CLOSE MONDAY 28 SEPTEMBER

Dust off your bike and join 10,000 riders all in the name of charity at Queensland's biggest bike ride Wilson HTM Brisbane to the Gold Coast Cycle Challenge.

A record number of 10,000 riders are expected to participate in Queensland's biggest bike ride Wilson HTM Brisbane to the Gold Coast Cycle Challenge on Sunday 11 October.

The Cycle Challenge offers a chance to be part of one of Queensland's biggest and best community events. It's the perfect opportunity to combat those winter blues and stay fit while raising valuable funds for charity.

Since its inception in 2005, more than 19,000 participants have helped raise over $433,000 for Queensland charities.

Proceeds from this year's event will go to the Heart Foundation and Diabetes Australia - Queensland, who work tirelessly to save lives and improve the health of Australians.

Participants can ride it hard or take it easy. With 100km and 60km options, the event offers a challenge for everyone.

And the fun continues after the event with a morning of entertainment and activities at Mitchell Park, Southport.

Founded and organised by Bicycle Queensland, the event aims to increase awareness and participation in cycling while raising valuable funds for charity.

Set yourself a challenge and sign up for Queensland's biggest bike ride!
