test

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”.

The routes will take you through scenic Albany and the surrounding region, with the various courses exploring some of the area’s most iconic spots such as the National ANZAC Centre, the Historic Whaling Station, the Wind Farm and Middleton Beach.

Let us take you on an epic adventure from the red dirt of the Goldfields to the gardens of Perth’s iconic Mundaring Weir. Over five unforgettable days you will trace the golden pipeline which has been delivering fresh water to Kalgoorlie for over a century. More than just a mountain bike ride, the Pipeline Challenge proudly raises awareness and money for West Australian charity Youth Futures who have been supporting at-risk young people for three decades.

When

The Pipeline Challenge is held in May each year and is set for Saturday 2nd to Wednesday 6th May 2020. The event is held in Autumn to take advantage of the great mountain biking weather Western Australia offers at this time. A monthly average temperature of 20-22 degrees and 7 days of light rain across the region sounds like perfect mountain biking weather to us.

Where

Your epic ride begins in Kalgoorlie, located 594 km east of Perth. Made famous in the late 1800’s when prospectors Paddy Hannan, Tom Flanagan, and Dan O’Shea discovered gold, the rest is history. Who knows you could be riding over a small fortune as you make your way from Kalgoorlie to Mundaring in the Perth hills. We will camp overnight at Coolgardie, Southern Cross, Merredin and Northam.

Who

The beauty of the Pipeline Challenge is that it is suitable for everyone. Whether you’re a group of friends looking for a socially competitive race or a novice just in it for a challenge, we’ve got you covered. We’ve had children as young as nine join us on the Pipeline Challenge- they can ride as part of a team on the easier sections and enjoy the experience.

The course is not overly technical, however it is varied. There are sections that consist of rocky outcrops, rutted trails, corrugations, sand, and climbs/descents. Just because the course isn’t technical doesn’t mean you don’t have to train! Your experience will be much more enjoyable if you’ve put in the hard yards before setting off. We recommend your training regime includes riding on consecutive days to prepare your body for backing it up day after day on the Challenge.

We encourage most riders to form a team and participate in a relay-style which makes the longer days a lot more achievable. That said, we have a number of spaces available for soloists keen to push themselves. If this is you please read the information provided and contact us before registering.

Each participant will receive a free registration when they make the following donation to Youth Futures during the registration process.

Adult Team Rider: $485

Adult Solo Rider: $500
