Event Details

The Pelotons.

Riders will be graded into a variety of pelotons with the more experienced riders taking on additional and more difficult challenges. The riders will be graded based on an average pace per hour method and the number of pelotons will depend largely on the number of riders we secure for the event. See an example of the peloton ranges below:

Peloton One … 28 k to 30 k an hour (Race Group)
Peloton Two … 26 k to 28 k an hour (Tour Group)
Peloton Three … 24 to 26 k an hour (Inexperienced Group … Only If Required)

The Pace.

The pace will be steady and safety will be a priority. Riders will once again compete for a series of competition jerseys and we will provide details in regards to the jerseys and how they can be won closer to the event.

The Support.

The pelotons will be fully supported with lead and rear vehicles and roving motorbikes; mechanics, massage therapists and doctors. Water, electrolyte powder, carbo shots, bananas and sun cream will be available as required. Riders requiring mechanical parts will purchase on a needs basis from the mechanics.All riders however, need to realise this is a team event and riders must stay with their peloton… riders are not to ride off the back at their own pace and peloton Captains will be appointed to drive a safe and consistent pace for all.

The Finish: The finish will be in Brisbane and we will advise location shortly.

The Competition Jerseys: Whilst it is not a race, some challenges will occur and a detailed briefing will be held throughout the event.

In short, the competition sections will include:

1. Yellow Section – Leaders Jersey
2. Green Section – Sprint Jersey
3. Polka Dot – Climbers Jersey
4. Pink – Individual Fundraiser
5. Orange – Corporate Fundraiser
6. White – Best New Rider

Riders will not be allowed to win more than one competition race jersey and we will provide more detail on this closer to the event.

Rider Rules and Safety: Riders need to follow some basic rules when it comes to riding in a peloton. This is both for their own safety and for those around them. Click here for more information about rider rules and safety.

Massages: Massage Therapists will be available throughout the event at a cost of $30 for 30 minutes. Riders will be advised of the booking process at the event and are encouraged to utilise the therapists to release unwanted aches and pains.
