It's not a race!

It is a wild and bumpy bicycle tour of Melbourne like you've never seen and you'll be rewarded for taking your time.

Distance / Elevation

42km / 300m if you follow the suggested route - shorter if you decide to take a long lunch and short cut to the end.

The route is NOT closed to traffic, nor is it compulsory to ride it completely or as suggested.

If you do follow the signs you'll find the route is linked by bike paths, cycle lanes, cobbled alleys, gravel tracks, fun detours and quiet streets.

The ride finishes at the World Famous Brunswick Velodrome where you'll find great food, drinks, activities to experience and fire kegs to warm your extremities.

Embrace the spirit of your inner kid and join us for a hell of day you will not forget.

We said it's NOT a race and we mean it.

If you don't include the incredible intangibles - this is some of the inclusions you can hold in your hand.

We keep a few up our sleeves for event day - who doesn't love surprises!

THE THINGS:

- Melburn Roobaix Musette. That's a fancy French word for cotton tote bag.

- High Quality Map, Printed in the Northern Suburbs of Melburn by our mates at Madman Entertainment.

- Official 2025 Spoke Card! PRICELESS!

- Limited Edition Schwag.

- A sweet treat.

- Special offers from event sponsors.

- Manifest to complete your ride and go into the draw to win HUGE!

At the Velodrome

- FOOD, GLORIOUS FOOD!

- Primo Pizza, Mr Fresh Truck, Giant Spring Rolls and more.

- Professional portrait of you and your crew available to download post-event by Peter Bongiorno.

- Bridge Road Brewers Bar

- Genvoese Coffee Cart

- Fire pits to warm your bits

- An obscene amount of wheels to wonder at.

We could say a 'bike' but plenty of people have ridden a trike - or crazier still, a unicycle.

There is no event with a wider representation of all the bikes you could ride.

Road bikes, gravel bikes, track bikes, MTB, tandem, cargo, recumbent, bedheads, bikes with BBQ's on the back, and yes - e-bikes are most welcome.

The most bicycle inclusive event in the world.

Kids ride for FREE but must be accompanied by a guardian.

We encourage all Rad Dads and Kool Mums to pass on the cycling bug to their kids.

Enjoy all the activities of the ride but if you want the musette, schwag and all the trimmings, grab a ticket!
