is a recreational bike ride for everyone, raising funds for Breast Cancer Network Australia (BCNA).

Starting in Daylesford on Saturday 28th October 2017, over 2,000 cyclists are expected to take part in this inaugural event through the beautiful countryside of Hepburn, Macedon Ranges and Mount Alexander Shires. The ride will pass through the towns of Kyneton, Malmsbury, Elphinston, Faraday, Taradale, Harcourt, Walmer, Maldon, Newstead, Franklinford, and Hepburn Springs before returning to Daylesford.



Funds raised will be supporting the BCNA to ensure that Australians affected by breast cancer receive the very best support, information, treatment and care appropriate to their individual needs. Please visit www.bcna.org.au to find out more.



There are three distances to choose from:

All three courses will have reduced speed limits and traffic management on intersections to create a safe course for both cyclists and cars. Suggested detours will be in place to keep through traffic off the course.

Daylesford, situated in the heart of the 'Spa Country', is located in the foothills of the Great Dividing Range, approximately 115 kilometres north-west of Melbourne. Along with Hepburn Springs, it is well known for its natural spring mineral spas. The Daylesford wine region is also fast becoming known as Australia's best Pinot growing region.



So why not make a long weekend and spend some time there after the ride relaxing those hard worked muscles. The Daylesford Regional Visitor Information Centre (98 Vincent Street, Daylesford) can provide plenty of information and details on accommodation in the area.
