Designed for families, locals and visitors, the Rainbow Rides are about much more than cycling...
There’s something for everyone, with kids’ bike activities, games and family fun in the Event Village, plus food and stalls to enjoy. For those keen to get out on two wheels, there’s also a relaxed community ride suitable for a range of ages and abilities.
Little riders can get in on the action with a dedicated kids’ bike course designed for younger riders to ride, play and build their confidence, while ages 12+ and adults can join the community ride to get out, explore and enjoy the local trails.
Australian professional cyclist Matilda Raynolds will be joining us at all three events, adding to the excitement as we celebrate the UCI Gravel World Championships coming to our region!
Enjoy a few hours of cycling and family fun, then make the most of your day by exploring the local town. Grab a meal, visit local businesses, discover nearby attractions and experience more of what the Southern Forests & Valleys has to offer.
