2020 will see us ride through the world famous Blue Mountains – Bondi2BlueMountains – a 4 day ride, 650km with 7,500m of elevation!
From Saturday 12 to Tuesday 15 September – starting with the Bondi2Berry ride on day 1, two groups of around 20 riders will continue from Berry through Kangaroo Valley to Goulburn. Day 3 sees us ride north to the Blue Mountains for an overnight stop in Lithgow, before returning to Sydney on day 4.
Why are we riding?
Our reasoning hasn’t changed, it’s intensified. There are about 435,000 reasons why – that number is the staggering statistic of Australian’s currently living with dementia. There are around 1.5 million Australians in their care. Chances are you are directly affected by this disease, or know someone who is.
We’ll be visiting some great communities along the way, riding to remember our loved ones, and raising awareness of dementia.

Great Cycle Challenge started in 2013, and after just 6 years, the event has grown to become one of the biggest cycling events in Australia.
People of all ages, abilities and from every state across the country set themselves a personal riding goal and challenge themselves to pedal throughout October to fight kids’ cancer.
In 6 years, our community of 55,774 riders from all 6 states and 2 territories have ridden a total of 13,341,418km, and together we’ve raised $16,300,890 in support of research to develop better treatments and find a cure for childhood cancer.
We’re riding to give these kids the brighter futures they deserve, and we believe that any one individual can make their personal impact to fight cancer and save little lives.
