The People’s Ride

aka Division 13

Don’t have a team, or simply don’t want to race, but you also don’t want to miss out on all the fun? The People’s Ride is for you.

AKA “Division 13”, the 2024 People’s Ride is the most fun you can have on a bike on Tour. Enter as an individual or as a team in the fully-supported, non-racing participation division, where your only objective is to have three great days out on your bike, while soaking up the atmosphere of Australia’s largest amateur road race. Can’t do all three? No problem. Email us and we’ll send you a voucher to ride one or two stages.
