Our pick for visiting riders with a gravel or wide-tyre road bike. Quiet roads, red dirt, eucalyptus shade, and a coffee stop in Cooroy at the halfway mark.
From Noosaville out through Cooroy and the Black Mountain backroads, returning via Tewantin. Around 1,200m of climbing, mostly on hard-packed dirt. Best ridden early before the heat — and the trucks.
Bicycling Australia's flagship Sunshine Coast event returns. We'll be running pre-ride race prep slots in the week leading up — book early, the bench fills fast.
A flatter recovery route along the river and around the headland. Coffee stop at Sunshine Beach is mandatory. Suits any tyre over 25mm — gravel bikes welcome.
We've finished tooling up for the new SRAM Red E1 wireless groupset. If you're considering an upgrade, drop in — we have demo levers and spec sheets at the front counter.
Our weekly social ride leaves the workshop at 06:00 sharp. Two pace groups, no drop, finishing back at the shop for coffee. All welcome — road or gravel.
A punchy 65km road loop with a sting in the tail. The 800m climb at the end is short but properly steep. Strava segment linked in our club.
