This September, in an aim to connect Australia’s Beach and Bush communities, we’re rolling out an Australia-wide bike ride where we are encouraging You to get on your bike (or spin bike) to ride for our farmers.

At a time when we are meant to be connected as a society – isolation, loneliness, depression, suicide and mental health rates are all climbing. Rates are even higher in regional and rural areas, due to remoteness and the stresses on farmers as a result of devastating experiences. This September we don’t only want to raise awareness for Mental Health issues amongst our farmers, but also raise $150,000 to place one new counsellor in rural Australia.

How it works? Measure out a distance between a major country town and a major beach (here are some examples), and challenge yourself to accumulate the equivalent distance over the month of September. Log your kilometres on your profile page, and raise money for every kilometre you ride. Whether you ride for recreation, or to commute, or prefer to get on an exercise bike at the gym, every kilometre counts.

Not a cyclist? Not a problem! If walking of running is your thing, that works too.

Register today and get on your bikes !

Course Information

About the Course

First used in October 2008.
You enter the Centre by Henley Drive off Lake Rd at the Cammillo Rd roundabout. Parking is available on the right of Henley Drive before the bridge and the grassed assembly area we currently use. There is a public toilet block there. Toilets will also be available on the island on most occasions.
The ‘Events Path’, the one closest to the water around the perimeter of the Lake, is 5km long. We now typically ride in the anticlockwise direction but this can vary; the distance is always the same! We began by riding clockwise; until April 2011. On the far side of the course – the ‘western’ side, close to Tonkin Hwy, Road C is a good place to warm up. The island is also a good place to warm up if there are no other events being run concurrently.

The Beverley

Date: Saturday 12th October 2019

Title: The Beverley Race

This race has run since 1897. It is a true West Australian Classic. A handicap road race with amazing scenery, one quiet road and 114km of Heroic riding. 

Rolling over undulating terrain, riders travel through rural views and canola fields, into shaded bushland of Wandoo National Park. The turnaround on to the return run sees a fast flowing slightly downhill run – handicap groups will need to work well to keep the scratch men at bay. The racing climaxes in the short rise on the approach to Lenard Rd with 4km to go– the first rider to crest holds the advantage in a fast run into the line. The handicap format encourages groups to work well together over the parcours.

Originally called “The Rover Road Race” of 1897 it was the brainchild of Percy Armstrong, noted rider and entrepreneurial owner of the Rover Cycling Agency. The gruelling event of 116 miles over rough turn of the century roads proved popular and was later re-named The Beverley to Perth Race – or simply the “Beverley”.
