Get your ride in before the Elite Rider’s take over the middle of Ballarat on Friday 10 January.

This is your chance to sneak in a ride before the Friday Criteriums on Sturt Street take over town. Thanks to the Ballarat and Sebastapol Cycling Club, you are invited to come on a bunch ride around the Ballarat area as part of the Federation University Road National Championships. It is the perfect time to get out on the bike and get some kilometres under the belt.

You will head off from Sturt Street, cruise a 50 kilometre loop around the area before coming back into town for a great breakfast deal for just $10 on the Criterium Course. The perfect way to get ready for the afternoons racing.

This free bunch ride will also get you discount entry into the Sturt St Hill Climb Challenge.

Details: Ride departs Golden City Hotel on Sturt Street at 6:00am. Arrives back at Golden City Hotel at 8:00am for breakfast and coffee.
