Tour de Somewhere
Every Easter Bike North runs a series of rides in a country town. The event is open to all, registration is required.
The events allows riders to enjoy untrafficked roads, to ride at their own pace, and to socialise after rides. Distances range from 45km to 200 kms and terrain can be flat or very hilly. On days where there are long or difficult rides programmed a less demanding choice is usually offered. Most people stay in a caravan park and there is always a communal HQ set up with an urn, tea/coffee and some snacks.
