Southbank to Southport bike ride October 12
This is an ever expanding annual event to raise money for heart and diabetes research, as well as publicising the benefits of cycling.
This is not a race, so you can go at your own pace.
The organisers provide 'smoko' and lunch, as well as roadside marshalls all along the route, support vehicles for those who may fall-by-the-wayside, and a very good atmosphere.
TBUG social riders could easily manage this event, and quite a few did last year.
See the Bicycle Queensland website for all details and application details:
