Event Details:

This social ride celebrates Perth’s tandem cycling community as part of WA Bike Month. Open to all including family and friends. We’ll ride at a “no one gets left behind” pace from Optus Stadium to Crawley, with a refreshment stop before we return. There will be opportunities to add distance and speed for those who wish to stretch their legs.

Grades & Distances:

From Optus Stadium we head west along South Perth Foreshore, over the Narrows and through Crawley to Sunset Precinct. After a refreshment stop in Crawley we’ll return the same way or via Langley Park and Matagarup Bridge, depending on group size. We will use mainly bicycle or dual use paths and some quiet roads. Around 30km, flat, at an easy pace.
