Want to ride along the ocean-front at Caloundra with 1000 other cyclists in a big new event? (Without getting sand or salt water on your bike of course!)

BQ will run a great new mass-participation ride on the Sunshine Coast that takes advantage of some fantastic roads and bikeways built by the Caloundra Council, and hugs the ocean edge like no other!

The ride is over 30 or 55 kilometres, with a 10k kids ride as an option around Quad Park, Kawana. The longer ride covers the seaside boundary of Caloundra City from Point Cartwright to Golden Beach, with a return leg via the city.

The ride was started two years ago by Caloundra City Council to raise funds for Camp Quality and promote cycling, but the course and date has been changed to maximize enjoyment and make it a little more challenging for long-haul participants.

The ride will offer a good hitout for all levels of riders with a smooth, low traffic route with fantastic ocean and coastal views. Mark in your diaries – a weekend at the Sunshine Coast beckons! Entries will open in late September.
