Challenge Rides

Are you looking for a way to improve your fitness, see some countryside, meet new friends and support worthy causes? There are an increasing number of challenge rides held around Australia and all of them can give you that extra incentive to get out on your bike.

What’s a challenge ride? Some of the better known events are the annual Sydney to the Gong ride in support of MS Australia (donate or join us here), Fitz’ Challenge in Canberra, Around the Bay in a Day in Melbourne and more sporting rides such as the Bathurst to Blaney. All of these rides can take you away from your regular haunts and challenge you with new terrain and longer distances in the company of many likeminded enthusiasts and a supportive atmosphere.

At Hornsby Cycles we also like to encourage and participate in these events by creating teams and facilitating group transport for these often one way trips. The next event on our calendar is the 30th Annual Sydney to the Gong on Sunday the 6th of November. If you have already registered you can still join our team “Hornsby Cycles” or support our fundraising. Team members will have the option to purchase a support pack of a Hornsby Cycles jersey & return bus ride back to the Hornsby Shire for $99.
