The Cyclebetes Australia Relay from August 23rd to 29th brings together 16 riders who will travel from Cairns to Melbourne ride in two alternating groups doing 3 hour shifts, at 24 hours/day. In each city they pass, cyclists are invited to participate in 20km – 100km rides to support this event.
The concept of Cyclebetes began in Canada in 2007 as a promise from Kyle Balagno to his daughter to find a cure for Juvenile Diabetes. He formed the 5 man H2V team was that cycled across Canada in 8 days and raised $800,000 for the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF).
Cyclebetes was so well received and that it has spread to America so that the community can participate in cycling relays, spin-athons and relay-athons to raise awareness and money for research. In August, Cyclebetes kicks off in Australia. The following YouTube video from introduces Cyclebetes to Australia.
