Starting in Daylesford, over 2,000 cyclists ride together through the beautiful countryside of Hepburn, Macedon Ranges and Mount Alexander Shires raising funds for Breast Cancer

The ride passes the towns of Kyneton, Malmsbury, Elphinston, Faraday, Taradale, Harcourt, Walmer, Maldon, Newstead, Franklinford, and Hepburn Springs before returning to Daylesford. This ride is so beautiful and such a great way to experience this piece of the world. Be warned the hills are tough but the environment is friendly and no competitive at all.

My client and dear friend Anu actually twisted my arm to join her on this ride, it was something fun to work towards and train for and we got a weekend getaway out of it!

My training coming into the event was little, I did a 25km ride once a week and a bigger ride building to 50km on Sundays combined with my regular strength and conditioning 3 x per week. Anu’s training was very much similar.

We raised $500 for the cause, cycled 63km and had a great time. Check out the cycle events page for upcoming rides, they do also a 33km ride and a 146km
